Journal ArticleDOI

The global abundance of tree palms

Robert Muscarella, +242 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the relative abundance of tree palms in tropical and subtropical moist forests was quantified to help improve understanding of tropical forests and reduce uncertainty about these ecosystems under climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolutionary heritage influences Amazon tree ecology.

Fernanda Coelho de Souza, +79 more
TL;DR: Significant phylogenetic signal (PS) for all traits is found, consistent with evolutionarily related genera having more similar characteristics than expected by chance, allowing clearer predictions of the links between evolutionary diversity, ecosystem function and the response of tropical forests to global change.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolutionary diversity is associated with wood productivity in Amazonian forests

Fernanda Coelho de Souza, +81 more
TL;DR: Overall, this pan-Amazonian analysis shows that greater phylogenetic diversity translates into higher levels of ecosystem function: tropical forest communities with more distantly related taxa have greater wood productivity.
