Lobo, Jorge A. | Cristobal-Perez, Eds...... - 《Biotropica》 - 2025,57(2) - 共13页

摘要：Analyses of the variation in the abortion rate | and mass of seeds of tropical trees are scarce | , despite their importance in modulating seed production | , plant recruitment, and herbivore foraging patterns. We | studied these reproductive processes in a tropical dry

4. Editorial: Biotropica Announces a New Paper Category: Synthesis NSTL国家科技图书文献中心

Powers, Jennifer S. | Brearley, Francis Q.... - 《Biotropica》 - 2025,57(2) - 1～ - 共2页

摘要：What does it take to tackle big questions in | ecology, evolution, and conservation that do not have | quick answers? Several important tools have emerged in | recent years including literature synthesis and meta | -analysis (Halpern et al. 2023; Lortie 2014), complemented

5. Is climate change to blame? Increased rainfall reduces emergence of Taiwanosemia hoppoensis (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) in coastal windbreak forests NSTL国家科技图书文献中心

Chang, Yuan-Mou | Kao, Chung-Jui ... - 《Biotropica》 - 2025,57(1) - 共6页

摘要：We found that increased rainfall reduced | exuvial numbers and impacted populations of Taiwanosemia | hoppoensis from coastal regions, likely due to prolonged | soil flooding harming the subterranean nymphs. As | climate change advances, long-term monitoring is

6. Anthropogenic extinctions explain most size and trophic mismatches between large mammalian primary consumers from Amazonian and African rainforests NSTL国家科技图书文献中心

Voss, Robert S. - 《Biotropica》 - 2025,57(1) - 1～ - 共4页

摘要：Lowland tropical rainforests in the Americas | , Africa, and Asia share many climatic, phytostructural | , and phenological attributes. Among others, these | biomes are characterized by persistently warm | temperatures, high annual rainfall, evergreen vegetation

7. Ecotones Shape Ground-Dwelling Mammal and Bird Diversity Along a Habitat Gradient in the Southern Coastal Dry Forests of Vietnam NSTL国家科技图书文献中心

Nguyen, An | Tilker, Andrew ... - 《Biotropica》 - 2025,57(1) - 共10页

摘要：Understanding biodiversity patterns is | essential for ecology and conservation. Globally | , conservation efforts often prioritize tropical rainforests | due to their high species richness. At the regional | scale, the same is true in the Greater Annamites
