How are rainforest birds faring in the Anthropocene? We use bird captures spanning> 35
years from 55 sites within a vast area of intact Amazonian rainforest to reveal reduced …

For decades, ecologists have studied fundamental questions of how Amazonian biodiversity
is maintained, and whether that diversity can persist following deforestation. The long history …

Insectivores of the tropical rainforest floor are consistently among the most vulnerable birds
to forest clearing and fragmentation. Several hypotheses attempt to explain this pattern …

The fragmentation of tropical forests remains a major driver of avian biodiversity loss,
particularly for insectivores, yet the mechanisms underlying area sensitivity remain poorly …

The role of light in partitioning ecological niche space remains a frontier in understanding
the assembly of terrestrial vertebrate communities and their response to global change …

The role of light in structuring the ecological niche remains a frontier in understanding how
vertebrate communities assemble and respond to global change. For birds, eyes represent …

Understanding the capacity for thermoregulation is critical for predicting organismal
vulnerability to climate change, especially in lowland tropical rainforests, where warming …

Anthropogenic disturbance contributes to global change by resha** the ecological niche
space available to biological communities. Quantifying the range of functional response …

Nest predation rates critically influence avian biodiversity and evolution. In the north
temperate zone, increased nest failure along edges of forest fragments is hypothesized to …

Wood-living beetles make up a large proportion of forest biodiversity and contribute to
important ecosystem services, including decomposition. Beetle communities in managed …
