Oligarchic dominance in western Amazonian plant communities (2005, background): “…Amazonian lowland forests to be dominated by limited sets of species that combine high landscape-scale frequency with high local abundance and at least sometimes form predictable oligarchies over wide landscapes (Burnham 2002, 2004; Pitman et al. 2001, Terborgh et al. 1996, Vormisto et al. 2004a).”
Edaphic and Floristic Variation within a 1‐ha Plot of Lowland Amazonian Rain Forest 1 (2006, background): “Several other studies (Kahn & De Castro 1985; Kahn 1987; Svenning 1999; Vormisto et al. 2000, 2004a) have shown that topographic and edaphic gradients influence local density and species richness of palms.”
Integrating environmental and spatial processes in ecological community dynamics. (2005, result): “Several tropical rain forest studies that I know of (Duivenvoorden et al. 2002; Duque et al. 2002; Tuomisto et al. 2003; Cannon & Leighton 2004; Vormisto et al. 2004), however, performed a similar study.”
Using k-nn and discriminant analyses to classify rain forest types in a Landsat TM image over northern Costa Rica (2008, background): “…fashion, which accounts for the floristic variation in lowland rain forests (Clark et al., 1998, 1999; Paoli et al., 2006; Phillips et al., 2003; Potts et al., 2002; Ruokolainen et al., 1998; Tuomisto et al., 1995; Tuomisto & Poulsen, 1996; Tuomisto et al., 2002, 2003b; Vormisto et al., 2004).”
Species Diversity and Growth Forms in Tropical American Palm Communities (2011, background): “This could confirm locality-specific relations between topography and other environmental factors (Vormisto et al., 2004b).”
Mesoscale distribution patterns of Amazonian understorey herbs in relation to topography, soil and watersheds (2005, background): “Percentage variance explained by environmental factors also tended to be low in other studies, varying from 10 to 20% (Duivenvoorden et al. 2002; Tuomisto, Ruokolainen & Yli-Halla 2003; Vormisto et al. 2004; Kinupp & Magnusson, in press).”
