Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of tropical forest fragmentation on aerial insectivorous bats in a land-bridge island system
TL;DR: It is suggested that small forest remnants are of considerable conservation value as many aerial insectivores intensively use them and high conservation priority should be given to retain or re-establish a high degree of forest integrity and low levels of isolation.

Summer dormancy in edible dormice ( Glis glis ) without energetic constraints
Claudia Bieber,Thomas Ruf +1 more
TL;DR: Almost year-round torpor has evolved as a strategy to escape birds of prey, the major predators of this arboreal mammal, and clearly helps in explaining the unusually high longevity of dormice.

Functional explanations for variation in bark thickness in tropical rain forest trees
Charles Eliot Timothy Paine,Clément Stahl,Elodie A. Courtois,Elodie A. Courtois,Sandra Patiño,Carolina Sarmiento,Christopher Baraloto +6 more
TL;DR: An extensive survey of bark thickness within and among species of trees in the tropical rain forests of French Guiana found bark to provide an average of 10% of the flexural rigidity of tree stems, which was substantially less than that found in the only other study of bark stiffness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of camouflage drives rapid ecological change in an insect community.
Timothy E. Farkas,Tommi Mononen,Tommi Mononen,Aaron A. Comeault,Aaron A. Comeault,Ilkka Hanski,Patrik Nosil,Patrik Nosil +7 more
TL;DR: A pervasive effect of ongoing evolution in a spatial context on population and community dynamics is demonstrated, and an eco-evolutionary model makes testable predictions about the influence of the spatial configuration of the patch network on metapopulation size and the spatial scale of adaptation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperature and rainfall strongly drive temporal growth variation in Asian tropical forest trees
TL;DR: It was showed that annual growth variability in tropical trees is determined by a combination of both temperature and precipitation variability, and with rising temperature, the predominantly negative relationship between temperature and growth may imply decreasing growth rates of tropical trees as a result of global warming.
