Removing forest canopy cover restores a reptile assemblage.
Humans are rapidly altering natural systems, leading to changes in the distribution and abundance of species. However, so many changes are occurring simultaneously (e.g., climate change, habitat fragmentation) that it is difficult to determine the cause of population fluctuations from correlational studies. We used a manipulative field experiment to determine whether forest canopy cover directl...
متن کاملTropical Forest Fragmentation Affects Floral Visitors but Not the Structure of Individual-Based Palm-Pollinator Networks
Despite increasing knowledge about the effects of habitat loss on pollinators in natural landscapes, information is very limited regarding the underlying mechanisms of forest fragmentation affecting plant-pollinator interactions in such landscapes. Here, we used a network approach to describe the effects of forest fragmentation on the patterns of interactions involving the understory dominant p...
متن کاملGround-Vegetation Clutter Affects Phyllostomid Bat Assemblage Structure in Lowland Amazonian Forest
Vegetation clutter is a limiting factor for bats that forage near ground level, and may determine the distribution of species and guilds. However, many studies that evaluated the effects of vegetation clutter on bats have used qualitative descriptions rather than direct measurements of vegetation density. Moreover, few studies have evaluated the effect of vegetation clutter on a regional scale....
متن کاملCoastal Upwelling Drives Intertidal Assemblage Structure and Trophic Ecology
Similar environmental driving forces can produce similarity among geographically distant ecosystems. Coastal oceanic upwelling, for example, has been associated with elevated biomass and abundance patterns of certain functional groups, e.g., corticated macroalgae. In the upwelling system of Northern Chile, we examined measures of intertidal macrobenthic composition, structure and trophic ecolog...
متن کاملCorrection: Ground-Vegetation Clutter Affects Phyllostomid Bat Assemblage Structure in Lowland Amazonian Forest
The legends for Figs 2 and 3 are incorrectly switched. The legend that appears for Fig 2 should appear with Fig 3, and the legend that appears for Fig 3 should appear with Fig 2. The figures appear in the correct order. The publisher apologizes for this error. Additionally, Fig 2 is missing sections E and F. Fig 4 is missing the category “Understory Frugivores”. Please view the complete, correc...
