Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term thermal sensitivity of Earth’s tropical forests

Martin J. P. Sullivan, +250 more
- 22 May 2020 - 
TL;DR: This synthesis of plot networks across climatic and biogeographic gradients shows that forest thermal sensitivity is dominated by high daytime temperatures, and biome-wide variation in tropical forest carbon stocks and dynamics shows long-term resilience to increasing high temperatures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Route-based travel and shared routes in sympatric spider and woolly monkeys: cognitive and evolutionary implications.

Anthony Di Fiore, +1 more
- 27 Mar 2007 - 
TL;DR: It is suggested that rather than remembering the specific locations of thousands of individual feeding trees and their phenological schedules, spider and woolly monkeys could nonetheless forage efficiently by committing to memory a series of route segments that, when followed, bring them into contact with many potential feeding sources for monitoring or visitation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seed dispersal by spider monkeys and its importance in the maintenance of neotropical rain-forest diversity

Andrés Link, +1 more
- 01 May 2006 - 
TL;DR: The results suggest that declines in populations of spider monkeys might have a direct effect on forest dynamics, especially if other disperser species cannot compensate for their lost ecological services.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seasonal drought limits tree species across the Neotropics

Adriane Esquivel-Muelbert, +84 more
- 01 May 2017 - 
TL;DR: It is found that the distributions of tree taxa are indeed nested along precipitation gradients in the western Neotropics, and the results suggest that the ‘dry tolerance’ hypothesis has broad applicability in the world's most species-rich forests.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estimating the global conservation status of more than 15,000 Amazonian tree species

Hans ter Steege, +163 more
- 01 Nov 2015 - 
TL;DR: A gap analysis suggests that existing Amazonian protected areas and indigenous territories will protect viable populations of most threatened species if these areas suffer no further degradation, highlighting the key roles that protected areas, indigenous peoples, and improved governance can play in preventing large-scale extinctions in the tropics in this century.
