Global-scale compilations of palaeoclimate indicators include records of the temporal and
spatial occurrence of coal, laterite, bauxite, Vertisols, calcrete, eolianite, and evaporite at the …

Sequence mismatch analysis (MMA) and Bayesian skyline plots (BSP) are commonly used
to reconstruct historical demography. A survey of 173 research articles (2009–2014), which …

Forest structure and dynamics vary across the Amazon Basin in an east-west gradient
coincident with variations in soil fertility and geology. This has resulted in the hypothesis that …

Aim To assess ancient biotic connections between the Amazon Forest (AmF) and the
Atlantic Forest (AtF) based on environmental niche modelling (ENM), palaeobiological, and …

The high species richness of tropical forests has long been recognized, yet there remains
substantial uncertainty regarding the actual number of tropical tree species. Using a …

Tropical tree height-diameter (H: D) relationships may vary by forest type and region making
large-scale estimates of above-ground biomass subject to bias if they ignore these …

Mountain gorillas are an endangered great ape subspecies and a prominent focus for
conservation, yet we know little about their genomic diversity and evolutionary past. We …

The accumulation of biodiversity in tropical forests can occur through multiple allopatric and
parapatric models of diversification, including forest refugia, riverine barriers and ecological …

The future of tropical forests under global environmental change is uncertain, with
biodiversity and carbon stocks at risk if precipitation regimes alter. Here, we assess changes …

Dipterocarpoideae species form the emergent layer of Asian rainforests. They are the
indicator species for Asian rainforest distribution, but they are severely threatened. Here, to …
