Most tropical woody plants produce new leaves and flowers in bursts rather than
continuously, and most tropical forest communities display seasonal variation in the …

1. A review of the literature shows that in nearly all cases tropical rain forest fragmentation
has led to a local loss of species. Isolated fragments suffer reductions in species richness …

Kent H. Redford he world conservation com-munity has focused much of its attention on the
plight of tropical forests. Many authors have lamented the loss of forest cover and the …

Bats occupy a wide variety of roosts in both natural and manmade structures. More than half
of the approximately 1,100 species of living bats use plants exclusively or opportunistically …

Vegetation, seed rain, seed germination, microclimate, and soil physical and chemical
parameters were measured in a recently abandoned pasture and adjacent primary rain …

In a fragmented, dry subtropical forest in northwestern Argentina, we compared pollination
levels, fruit set, and seed set among small (< 1 ha) forest fragments, large (> 2 ha) fragments …

The study of phenological aspects of plants involves the observation, recording and
interpretation of the timing of their life history events. This review considers the phenology of …

In subtropical dry forest (Chaco Serrano) of Tucuman province, northwestern Argentina, we
assessed responses of the flower—visitor assemblage to habitat fragmentation by …

In this article we use new data to review the major threats facing primate populations and
assess probable declines and local extinctions. Subsequently, we outline some of the …

The future of mammalian diversity in the tropics depends largely on the conservation value
of human‐dominated lands. We investigated the distribution of non‐flying mammals in five …
