Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial patterns of seed dispersal, their determinants and consequences for recruitment.
TL;DR: Together with the development and refinement of mathematical models, this promises a deeper, more mechanistic understanding of dispersal processes and their consequences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved allometric models to estimate the aboveground biomass of tropical trees

Goodman,Matieu Henry,Angelina Martínez-Yrízar,Wilson A. Mugasha,Helene C.

Ryan,Juan Saldarriaga,Ghislain Vieilledent +23 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beta-Diversity in Tropical Forest Trees
Richard Condit,Nigel C. A. Pitman,Egbert Giles Leigh,Jérôme Chave,John Terborgh,Robin B. Foster,Percy Nuñez,Salomón Aguilar,Renato Valencia,Gorky Villa,Helene C. Muller-Landau,Elizabeth Losos,Stephen P. Hubbell +12 more
TL;DR: It is found that beta-diversity is higher in Panama than in western Amazonia and that patterns in both areas are inconsistent with the neutral model, suggesting that dispersal limitation, with speciation, influences species turnover.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Ecology and Evolution of Seed Dispersal: A Theoretical Perspective
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the development of seed dispersal models can be found, and some suggestions for furthest reaching the future are provided, as well as suggestions for how to incorporate these models into models of the implications of dispersal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regional and phylogenetic variation of wood density across 2456 Neotropical tree species.
Jérôme Chave,Helene C. Muller-Landau,Timothy R. Baker,Tomás A. Easdale,Hans ter Steege,Campbell O. Webb +5 more
TL;DR: This unprecedented wood density data set yields consistent guidelines for estimating wood densities when species-level information is lacking and should significantly reduce error in Central and South American carbon accounting programs.
