Tropical East Asia is home to over one billion people and faces massive human impacts
from its rising population and rapid economic growth. It has already lost more than half of its …

Globally, plants display enormous variation in life‐history strategies and trait combinations.
However, evidence suggests that evolutionary and physiological constraints limit the …

Asian tropical forests are amongst the most diverse on the planet, a richness that belies the
fact that they are dominated by a single family of trees, the Dipterocarpaceae. Many other …

The arboreal ecosystem is vitally important to global and local biogeochemical processes,
the maintenance of biodiversity in natural systems, and human health in urban …

Maintaining the genetic viability of timber species is especially important to sustaining the
productivity and quality of timber in tropical production forests because the diversity of tree …

Labour and production costs are considered major production challenges for strawberry
(Fragaria sp.) farmers, due to the reliance on manual harvesting methods. Automation has …

Premise The number of open flowers on a plant (ie, floral display size) can influence plant
fitness by increasing pollinator attraction. However, diminishing marginal fitness returns with …

Topography is associated with variation in soil water, biogeochemical properties and
climate, which drive diversity by filtering species and promoting niche differences. However …

Flower biomass varies widely across the angiosperms. Each plant species invests a given
amount of biomass to construct its sex organs. A comparative understanding of how this …

Habitat fragmentation and changed land use have seriously reduced population size in
many tropical forest tree species. Formerly widespread species with limited gene flow may …
