TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated how sapling growth rates were affected by conspecific adult neighbors in a fully mapped 25.6 hectares temperate deciduous forest, and they found that negative local tree species diversity is maintained in part by local negative density dependence (CNDD).

TL;DR: This article investigated fine-scale stand structures across European and North American forests by applying the European concept of forest developmental phases to all stands and demonstrated that in addition to the large-scale forest cycle assumed by N. American conceptual models there simultaneously exist finer-scale patch dynamics described by the European conceptual model.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the landscape suitability of the region currently occupied by the Sichuan golden money (Rhinopithecus roxellana) using occupancy models constructed in Maxent with presence-only data and environmental variables.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors analyzed a global dataset from over 8671 camera traps in 23 countries on four continents that detected 321 medium to large-bodied mammal species and found a strong positive correlation between mammal taxonomic diversity and the proportion of a surveyed area covered by PAs at a global scale.
