TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the generality of a positive biomass-wood density relationship within and among six tropical forests, including Costa Rica, Panama, Puerto Rico and Ecuador.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors combined data from five major aggregators of occurrence data (e.g., Global Biodiversity Information Facility, Botanical Information and Ecological Network v.3, DRYFLOR, RAINBIO and Atlas of Living Australia) by creating a workflow to integrate, assess and control data quality of tree species occurrences for species distribution modeling.

TL;DR: The model provides a basis for understanding the general and fundamental features governing ontogenetic growth and shows that it is the only model discussed by Ricklefs that correctly predicts the absolute value and scaling characteristics of the total energy metabolized by altricial birds from hatching to fledging.

TL;DR: In this paper, the relative growth rate equation, presented as (1/M) (dM/df), should read ( 1/ M) (DM/dt), and the sentence following that containing equation (5) should read “Thus, regardless of any possible time dependence of either the proportionality constants or the density, a plot of M 1/4 versus M1/40 for fixed times t and t0 for any species should yield a straight line with a universal slope of unity but with an intercept that depends on the time interval and the species.
