Forest canopies are dynamic interfaces between organisms and atmosphere, providing
buffered microclimates and complex microhabitats. Canopies form vertically stratified …

Tropical forests harbour the highest levels of terrestrial biodiversity and represent some of
the most complex ecosystems on Earth, with a significant portion of this diversity above …

Quantifying and understanding the main drivers of biodiversity responses to human
disturbances at multiple scales is key to foster effective conservation plans and management …

Tropical forests shelter an unparalleled biological diversity. The relative influence of
environmental selection (ie, abiotic conditions, biotic interactions) and stochastic–distance …

Tropical forests are among the most biodiverse biomes on the planet. Nevertheless,
quantifying the abundance and species richness within megadiverse groups is a significant …

The 37-year ongoing inventory of the estimated 15 000 species of Lepidoptera living in the
125 000 terrestrial hectares of Area de Conservacion Guanacaste, northwestern Costa Rica …

Estimations of tropical insect diversity generally suffer from lack of known groups or faunas
against which extrapolations can be made, and have seriously underestimated the diversity …

Background The world's fast disappearing mangrove forests have low plant diversity and are
often assumed to also have a species-poor insect fauna. We here compare the tropical …

The more insects there are, the more food there is for insectivores and the higher the
likelihood for insect-associated ecosystem services. Yet, we lack insights into the drivers of …

We investigated the patterns of taxonomic (TD) and functional (FD) α and β‐diversities of
ants in a mountainous landscape along three dimensions, namely one temporal (seasonal) …
