TL;DR: This work analyzed a global database of directly harvested trees at 58 sites, spanning a wide range of climatic conditions and vegetation types, and found a pantropical model incorporating wood density, trunk diameter, and the variable E outperformed previously published models without height.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the services delivered by a tropical dry forest (TDF) ecosystem in the Chamela Region, on the Pacific Coast of Mexico, using the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA) conceptual framework as a guide.

TL;DR: It is shown that cacti are among the most threatened taxonomic groups assessed to date, with 31% of the 1,478 evaluated species threatened, demonstrating the high anthropogenic pressures on biodiversity in arid lands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do flowers reabsorb nectar
Alberto Búrquez,S. A. Corbet +1 more
TL;DR: To isolate the component processes of secretion and reabsorption, the author eliminated nectarivore visits by protecting the flowers, and eliminated the need to consider condensation and evaporation by expressing gains and losses in terms of solutes alone, disregarding water.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Ecology of Seed Heteromorphism in Heterosperma Pinnatum in Central Mexico
TL;DR: The results of these experiments suggest that a achene behavior ranges from "low—risk" (peripheral achenes) to "high— risk" (central achene) within the progeny of a single individual, while individuals and populations vary in the proportion of offspring exhibiting each type of behavior.
