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: The conocimiento actual de las dimensiones humanas and bio-fisicas de los cambios in los bosque secos tropicales and sus efectos acumulativos esta en las etapas iniciales del Descubrimiento Acadímico.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the current knowledge of the ecology and management implications associated to tropical dry forest succession is presented, focusing on the use of chronosequences, plant diversity and composition, plant phenology and remote sensing, pollination, and animal-plant interactions.

TL;DR: A special section is introduced that addresses the bushmeat or wild meat crisis, its direct impact on game species, and its indirect impact on plants in tropical forests.

TL;DR: A review of the literature that addresses indirect effects of hunting for tropical forest plant communities can be found in this article, where three conclusions are made: (1) hunting tends to reduce seed movement for animal-dispersed species with very large diaspores; (2) hunting reduces seed predation by granivorous vertebrates for species with large seeds; and (3) hunting alters the species composition of the seedling and sapling layers.
