Phenology has achieved a prominent position in current scenarios of global change
research given its role in monitoring and predicting the timing of recurrent life cycle events …

Despite its relevance to contemporary biodiversity conservation, the ecological mechanisms
controlling nonrandom species replacements and biotic homogenization of native biotas …

For decades, conservation and research initiatives in tropical forests have focused almost
exclusively on old-growth forests because scientists believed that these “pristine” …

Carbon storage is widely acknowledged as one of the most valuable forest ecosystem
services. Deforestation, logging, fragmentation, fire, and climate change have significant …

Biodiversity is organised into complex ecological networks of interacting species in local
ecosystems, but our knowledge about the effects of habitat fragmentation on such systems …

Recent global assessments have shown the limited coverage of protected areas across
tropical biotas, fuelling a growing interest in the potential conservation services provided by …

Aim To examine whether the tree flora of the Atlantic forest of northeastern Brazil has
experienced detectable taxonomic homogenization via the proliferation of native pioneer …

Land‐use change is the main driver of global biodiversity loss, but its relative impact on
species turnover (β‐diversity) across multiple spatial scales remains unclear. Plant …

The long-term dynamics of plant communities remain poorly understood in isolated tropical
forest fragments. Here we test the hypothesis that tropical tree assemblages in both small …

HABITAT FRAGMENTATION HAS BECOME THE MOST PERVASIVE and conspicuous
anthropogenic form of disturbance in tropical forest landscapes following unprecedented …
