Spatial patterns of an endemic Mediterranean palm recolonizing old fields.

TL;DR: It seems that the spatial patterns and dispersal strategies of the dwarf palm make it a successful plant for new habitat colonization, and can help to develop management strategies to recover plant populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intertwined effects of defaunation, increased tree mortality and density compensation on seed dispersal

Journal ArticleDOI

Spatial distribution of communal nests in a colonial breeding bird: benefits without costs?

TL;DR: It is suggested, that colonies of P. socius consist of several nests on adjacent trees forming a cluster of subcolonies, and a strategy to avoid costs due to increasing colony size is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Network science applied to forest megaplots: tropical tree species coexist in small-world networks.

TL;DR: The application of network analysis to forest ecology provides a new approach in biodiversity research to quantify spatial neighborhood structures for better understanding interactions between tree species.
Journal ArticleDOI

An analysis of forest biomass sampling strategies across scales

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the conditions under which a limited number of sample plots conform to this assumption and showed that these nonrandom locations lead to a much higher sampling intensity being required.
