Biodiversity is declining on a global scale. Especially tropical ecosystems, containing most
of the planetary biodiversity, are at risk. Agricultural monocrop systems contribute to this …

We are losing biodiversity quickly, not simply because of development but due to poor
spatial planning. Recent findings propose thoughtful configurations and management of …

Electric fields in terrestrial environments are used by caterpillars to detect their predators, as
foraging cues by pollinators, and facilitate ballooning by spiders. This study shows that …

Reports of biodiversity loss have increasingly focused on declines in abundance and
diversity of insects, but it is still unclear if substantive insect diversity losses are occurring in …

Large terrestrial herbivorous mammals (LTH‐mammals) influence plant community structure
by affecting seedling establishment in mature tropical forests. Many of these LTH‐mammals …

Despite the critical role of seed dispersal for tree colonization during forest succession in wet
tropical forests, successional trajectories of seed dispersal modes are poorly documented at …

The bull shark (Carcharhinus leucas Valenciennes, 1839) is a large, primarily coastally
distributed shark famous for its ability to penetrate far into freshwater bodies in tropical …

ABSTRACT Costa Rica's Caribbean coastline is the result of a complex tectonic setting
coupled with dynamic geological, climatological, hydrological and ecological processes …

The interspecific relationship between functional traits and tree seedling performance can
be inconsistent, potentially due to site-to-site or microsite variation in environmental …

Habitat conversion creates a mosaic of land cover types, which affect the spatial distribution,
diversity, and abundance of resources. We used abundance, functional, and phylogenetic …
