We transformed the native tobacco, Nicotiana attenuata, to silence its lipoxygenase,
hydroperoxide lyase, and allene oxide synthase genes in order to inhibit oxylipin signaling …

Summary 1 Unravelling which factors affect where tropical trees grow is an important goal
for ecologists and conservationists. At the landscape scale, debate is mostly focused on the …

Identifying factors that influence variation in light availability within forested ecosystems
represents an important component in our understanding of the complex determinants of …

Meso-scale digital terrain models (DTMs) and canopy-height estimates, or digital canopy
models (DCMs), are two lidar products that have immense potential for research in tropical …

We develop a novel statistical approach for classifying generalists and specialists in two
distinct habitats. Using a multinomial model based on estimated species relative abundance …

Rain forests represent the world's richest repository of terrestrial biodiversity, and play a
major role in regulating the global climate. They support the livelihoods of a substantial …

Many efforts are underway to produce broad-scale forest attribute maps by modelling forest
class and structure variables collected in forest inventories as functions of satellite-based …

The dominant models explaining tree species diversity and distribution patterns in tropical
forests are the Janzen‐Connell and Recruitment Limitation models, neither of which …

Summary 1 Spatial distributions of tropical trees often correlate with environmental variation,
suggesting that ecological sorting caused by niche differentiation may be important for …

Questions What is the magnitude of the differences in environment and chronic human
disturbance between contrasting slope aspects and topographic positions in a seasonally …
