▪ Abstract In this review, we discuss the ecological and evolutionary consequences of plant-
herbivore interactions in tropical forests. We note first that herbivory rates are higher in …

We present a quantitative literature review to assess the extent to which field experiments
with plants have addressed questions about patterns of competition over time and space …

Disperser effectiveness is the contribution a disperser makes to the future reproduction of a
plant. Although it is a key notion in studies of seed dispersal by animals, we know little about …

Nearly 25% of the estimated 250 000 spec cular plants in the world may become exti the
next 50 yr (Raven 1987), and 22% ofvas. species in the United States are currently vation …

Ecology of Soil Seed Banks examines the factors that influence seed bank dynamics and the
variety of patterns found among different species. This book presents seed banks in a …

The book summarizes 20 years of research on the impact of selective logging in the Kibale
forest in Uganda, which is one of the most important centres for the study of tropical rain …

Our knowledge of the ecology of tropical rain-forest trees is limited, with detailed information
available for perhaps only a few hundred of the many thousand of species that occur. Yet a …

The ecological forces determining where within a landscape plants recruit and grow has
been termed proximal habitat choice. Habitat choice is imposed first by a heterogeneous …

The ecology of the period between seed germination and the establishment of independent
juvenile plants is discussed with reference to the utilization of seed reserves, resource …

To examine the interspecific reproductive synchrony of Dipterocarpaceae with vertebrate
responses to seed availablity, we monitored the spatiotemporal distribution and phenology …
