TL;DR: These findings suggest that tropical protected areas are often intimately linked ecologically to their surrounding habitats, and that a failure to stem broad-scale loss and degradation of such habitats could sharply increase the likelihood of serious biodiversity declines.

TL;DR: This paper found that species classified as elevational specialists (upper or lower-zone specialists) are relatively more frequent in the American than Asia-Pacific tropics, with African tropics being intermediate.

TL;DR: It is suggested that early publication success is vital for aspiring young scientists and that one of the easiest ways to identify rising stars is simply to find those who have published early and often.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that men would also rate their personal scientific expertise more highly than would women, given comparable levels of individual experience, and tested this hypothesis as part of a global survey of recognized scientific experts engaged in long-term environmental or ecological research at 60 protected areas stratified across forests.

TL;DR: There is no evidence that the approaches Bruna advocates would have appreciably improved the analysis or altered the conclusions of this study.
