Tropical montane forests (TMFs) are major centers of evolutionary change and harbor many
endemic species with small geographic ranges. In this systematic map, we focus on the …

Rainforest conversion into monoculture plantations results in species loss and community
shifts across animal taxa. The effect of such conversion on the role of ecophysiological …

Habitat fragmentation, the transformation of interconnected large habitats into several small
patches, is generally considered to have a negative influence on biodiversity. Management …

Land-use change is the main driver of biodiversity loss in the tropics worldwide. Lowland
rainforest regions in Southeast Asia are experiencing particularly high rates of large-scale …

Aim Epiphytic plants are isolated from each other by nonhabitat canopy elements and are
thus expected to act as islands, the biodiversity of their inhabitants (eg, spiders) conforming …

We made intensive samplings to study the seasonal response of spiders across different
forest strata (ground and understory) in a tropical mountain cloud forest from Mexico. We …

Las arañas han logrado colonizar la mayoría de ambientes terrestres, siendo comunes en
los bosques. Este grupo se ha reportado desde el suelo hasta el dosel y sus patrones de …

Background As forested natural habitats disappear in the world, traditional, shade-coffee
plantations offer an opportunity to conserve biodiversity and ecosystem services. Traditional …

The diversity of araneomorph spiders in an ecoturistic tropical forest remnant of
approximately 40 ha is described. A 1-ha plot with homogeneous vegetation was …

Aim Positive relationships between island size and species richness have been found for
oceanic and non‐oceanic islands. However, the effect of isolation, also predicted by island …
