Journal ArticleDOI

Generalized linear mixed models: a practical guide for ecology and evolution

TL;DR: The use (and misuse) of GLMMs in ecology and evolution are reviewed, estimation and inference are discussed, and 'best-practice' data analysis procedures for scientists facing this challenge are summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Averting biodiversity collapse in tropical forest protected areas

William F. Laurance, +216 more
- 13 Sep 2012 - 
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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Are Plant Populations Seed Limited? A Critique and Meta‐Analysis of Seed Addition Experiments

TL;DR: It was found that, in keeping with previous studies, most species are seed limited, however, the effects of seed addition are typically small, and most added seeds fail to recruit to the seedling stage, so establishment limitation is stronger than seed limitation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Asynchronous carbon sink saturation in African and Amazonian tropical forests

Wannes Hubau, +132 more
- 04 Mar 2020 - 
TL;DR: Overall, the uptake of carbon into Earth’s intact tropical forests peaked in the 1990s and independent observations indicating greater recent carbon uptake into the Northern Hemisphere landmass reinforce the conclusion that the intact tropical forest carbon sink has already peaked.
Journal ArticleDOI

Large trees drive forest aboveground biomass variation in moist lowland forests across the tropics

J. W. Ferry Slik, +64 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the importance of large trees for tropical forest biomass storage and explore which intrinsic (species trait) and extrinsic (environment) variables are associated with the density of trees and forest biomass at continental and pan-tropical scales.
