The seasonality of both rainfall and solar irradiance might influence the evolution of
flowering and fruiting in tropical forests. In seasonally dry forests, to the degree that soil …

We compared flowering times predicted by six possible proximate cues involving seasonal
changes in rainfall and irradiance and flowering times observed over 30 years of weekly …

Flowering and fruiting phenology have been infrequently studied in the ever‐wet
hyperdiverse lowland forests of northwestern equatorial Amazonía. These Neotropical …

Fruiting, flowering, and leaf set patterns influence many aspects of tropical forest
communities, but there are few long‐term studies examining potential drivers of these …

Aim We analyse the proximate causes of the large variation in flowering periodicity among
four tropical dry forests (TDF) and ask whether climatic periodicity or biotic interactions are …

Tropical dry forests occupy more area and are more endangered than rainforests, yet their
regeneration ecology has received less study and is consequently poorly understood. We …

To examine the potential contribution of herbarium material to the description and analysis
of tropical tree phenology, flowering times and geographical distribution were graphed for …

One of the most intriguing and complex characteristics of reproductive phenology in tropical
forests is high diversity within and among forests. To understand such diversity, Newstrom et …

The phenological behavior of many tropical plant species is highly dependent on rainfall, but
these plants may also respond to changes in photoperiod. Without a better knowledge of the …

Leaffall phenology is an important periodical event in forests, contributing to mobilization of
organic matter from primary producers to soil. For seasonal forests, leaffall periodicity has …
