Upgrading protected areas to conserve wild biodiversity
RM Pringle - Nature, 2017 - nature.com
International agreements mandate the expansion of Earth's protected-area network as a
bulwark against the continued extinction of wild populations, species, and ecosystems. Yet …

Trait‐based ecology of terrestrial arthropods
In focusing on how organisms' generalizable functional properties (traits) interact
mechanistically with environments across spatial scales and levels of biological …

Mine land rehabilitation: Modern ecological approaches for more sustainable mining
Despite the urgent demand for sustainable mining, the revegetation and rehabilitation of
areas degraded by mining activities remain challenging. Uncertainties about species …

To us insectometers, it is clear that insect decline in our Costa Rican tropics is real, so let's be kind to the survivors
DH Janzen, W Hallwachs - Proceedings of the National …, 2021 - National Acad Sciences
We have been field observers of tropical insects on four continents and, since 1978, intense
observers of caterpillars, their parasites, and their associates in the 1,260 km2 of dry, cloud …

For common community phylogenetic analyses, go ahead and use synthesis phylogenies
Should we build our own phylogenetic trees based on gene sequence data, or can we
simply use available synthesis phylogenies? This is a fundamental question that any study …

Contrasting species and functional beta diversity in montane ant assemblages
Aim Beta diversity describes the variation in species composition between sites and can be
used to infer why different species occupy different parts of the globe. It can be viewed in a …

Island area, not isolation, drives taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity of ants on land‐bridge islands
Aim To explore the impact of island area and isolation on multiple dimensions of ant
biodiversity (taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity) and the underlying processes …

Biotic interactions are the dominant drivers of phylogenetic and functional structure in bird communities along a tropical elevational gradient
Understanding how biotic and abiotic interactions influence community assembly and
composition is a fundamental goal in community ecology. Addressing this issue is …

The truncated bell: an enigmatic but pervasive elevational diversity pattern in Middle American ants
JT Longino, MG Branstetter - Ecography, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Studies on elevation gradients in Panama and Costa Rica have shown that leaf‐litter ants
exhibit a mid‐elevation peak in diversity. This diversity pattern has been observed in other …
