We retrace the development of tropical phenology research, compare temperate phenology
study to that in the tropics and highlight the advances currently being made in this flourishing …

Biodiversity is declining globally, yet many biodiversity hotspots still lack comprehensive
species conservation assessments. Using multiple International Union for Conservation of …

Tropical forests were long viewed as relatively stable systems, with little biologically
important variation in climate. However, in recent years, accumulating evidence has …

In the rainforests of the Guineo-Congolian region, several native tree species have been
tested in plantations established with different silvicultural methods and objectives. The …

The occurrence of flowering and fruiting in tropical trees will be affected by a variety of
factors, linked to availability of resources and suitable climatic triggers, that may be affected …

The fundamental trade‐off between current and future reproduction has long been
considered to result in a tendency for species that can grow large to begin reproduction at a …

The natural regeneration of tree species depends on seed and pollen dispersal. To assess
whether limited dispersal could be critical for the sustainability of selective logging practices …

Restoring valuable timber trees is a necessary part of regaining many ecosystem services
and products provided by degraded tropical forests. However, knowledge of seed …

Negative distance-dependent recruitment of seedlings is supposedly widespread in tropical
tree communities. However, data from African rainforests is scarce, and it is still poorly …

Canopy gaps play a pivotal role in tropical forest ecosystems, influencing succession,
carbon dynamics, ecosystem function, and biodiversity. Here we investigated canopy gap …
