TL;DR: Although demographic differences may foster coexistence, they do not explain any of the 16-fold variation in tree species richness observed across the tropics.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results do not support the hypothesis that fast-growing species are consistently increasing in dominance in tropical tree communities, and suggest that plots may be simultaneously recovering from past disturbances and affected by changes in resource availability.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present census data from seven New and Old World tropical forest dynamics plots that all show the latter pattern, showing that the trees that survived were as a group more diverse than those that were recruited or those that died.
Journal ArticleDOI
The variation of tree beta diversity across a global network of forest plots
Miquel De Cáceres,Pierre Legendre,Renato Valencia,Min Cao,Li-Wan Chang,George B. Chuyong,Richard Condit,Zhanqing Hao,Chang-Fu Hsieh,Stephen P. Hubbell,Stephen P. Hubbell,David Kenfack,Keping Ma,Xiangcheng Mi,Md. Nur Supardi Noor,Abdul Rahman Kassim,Haibao Ren,Sheng-Hsin Su,I-Fang Sun,Duncan W. Thomas,Wanhui Ye,Fangliang He,Fangliang He +22 more
TL;DR: Comparisons of tree beta diversity across regions should quantify not only overall variation in species composition but also its components, because different components of beta diversity have different determinants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seed size and the evolution of leaf defences
Thomas S. Kraft,S. Joseph Wright,Ian M. Turner,Peter W. Lucas,Christopher E. Oufiero,Md. Nur Supardi Noor,I-Fang Sun,Nathaniel J. Dominy +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that larger seed size and increased leaf toughness are correlated as part of a trait syndrome associated with a slow, resource-limited life history, not clumped dispersion and increased spatial apparency.
