Community structure and diversity of tropical forest mammals: Data from a globa...
Ahumada, Jorge A.; Silva, Carlos E.F.; Gajapersad, Krisna; Hallam, Chris D.; Hurtado, Johanna; Martin, Emanuel H.; McWilliam, Alex; Mugerwa, BadruTerrestrial mammals are a key component of tropical forest communities as indicators of ecosystem health and providers of important ecosystem services. However, there is little quantitative information about how they change with local, regional and global threats. In this paper, the first standardized pantropical forest terrestrial mammal community study, we examine several aspects of terrestrial mammal species...
Standardized Assessment of Biodiversity Trends in Tropical Forest Protected Are...
Beaudrot, Lydia H.; Ahumada, Jorge A.; O’Brien, Timothy L.; Álvarez-Loayza, Patricia; Boekee, Kelly; Campos-Arceiz, Ahimsa; Eichberg, DavidExtinction rates in the Anthropocene are three orders of magnitude higher than background and disproportionately occur in the tropics, home of half the world’s species. Despite global efforts to combat tropical species extinctions, lack of high-quality, objective information on tropical biodiversity has hampered quantitative evaluation of conservation strategies. In particular, the scarcity of population-level ...

Phylogenetic composition and structure of tree communities shed light on histor...
Carlucci, Marcos Bergmann; Seger, Guilherme Dubal dos Santos; Sheil, Douglas; Amaral, Iêda Leão do; Chuyong, George Bindeh; Ferreira, Leandro ValleThe Neotropics, Afrotropics and Madagascar have different histories which have influenced their respective patterns of diversity. Based on current knowledge of these histories, we developed the following predictions about the phylogenetic structure and composition of rainforest tree communities: (Hypothesis 1) isolation of Gondwanan biotas generated differences in phylogenetic composition among biogeographical ...
