Detecting anthropogenic disturbance in tropical forests.
Tropical forests are beleaguered by an array of threats driven by different scales of anthropogenic perturbations, which vary in the degree to which they can be detected by remote sensing. The extent of different patterns of cryptic disturbance often far exceeds the total area deforested, as shown by two recent studies on selective logging in Amazonia. Here, we discuss different forms of distur...
متن کاملAnthropogenic noise changes arthropod abundances
Anthropogenic noise is a widespread and growing form of sensory pollution associated with the expansion of human infrastructure. One specific source of constant and intense noise is that produced by compressors used for the extraction and transportation of natural gas. Terrestrial arthropods play a central role in many ecosystems, and given that numerous species rely upon airborne sounds and su...
متن کاملChanges in Growth of Tropical Forests: Evaluating Potential Biases
Over the past century almost every ecosystem on Earth has come under the influence of changes in atmospheric composition and climate caused by human activity. Tropical forests are among the most productive and extensive ecosystems, and it has been hypothesized that both the dynamics and biomass of apparently undisturbed, old-growth tropical forests have been changing in response to atmospheric ...
متن کاملArthropod diversity in a tropical forest.
Most eukaryotic organisms are arthropods. Yet, their diversity in rich terrestrial ecosystems is still unknown. Here we produce tangible estimates of the total species richness of arthropods in a tropical rainforest. Using a comprehensive range of structured protocols, we sampled the phylogenetic breadth of arthropod taxa from the soil to the forest canopy in the San Lorenzo forest, Panama. We ...
متن کاملInsect Herbivory in Tropical Forests
In z.n address to inaugurate the invertebrate exhibit at the National Zoo, Washington, DC on Mav 7, 1987, E.O. Wilson called insects "the little things that run the world" (Wilson 1987a). In terris of their diversity, distribution, and abundance, insects are unrivaled as a global ecolo,gical and evolutionary force. "It needs to be repeatedly stressed that invertebrates as a whole are even more ...
