Odd man out: why are there fewer plant species in African rain forests? (2014, background): “In addition, understanding how the same biome has responded to past climate change in different regions will provide interesting data towards better conservation planning of biodiversity in the future.”
PAPER Community assembly processes shape an altitudinal gradient of forest biodiversity (2013, result): “Although this phenomenon has been reported previously in recent works (Lindo & Winchester, 2008; Kraft et al., 2011; De Cáceres et al., 2012), it remains unexplained.”
Spatial scale resolves the niche versus neutral theory debate (2014, background): “…of the forest plot at BCI has spawned a ‘cottage industry’ of similar plots in a network of sites across the world (53 and counting), with mixed evidence for both niche and neutral processes explaining the observed patterns (e.g. De C aceres et al. 2012; Baldeck et al. 2013; Brown et al. 2013).”
