Ground-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 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...
متن کاملLandscape-scale variation in forest structure and biomass in a tropical rain forest
A better understanding of the reasons for variation in tropical rain forest (TRF) structure is important for quantifying global above-ground biomass (AGBM). We used three data sets to estimate stem number, basal area, and AGBM over a 600-ha oldgrowth TRF landscape (La Selva, N.E. Costa Rica). We analyzed the effects of soil type, slope angle, topographic position, and different sample designs a...
متن کاملForest Growth Simulation: Tropical Rain Forest Stand Table Projection
The study on the tree growth for four species groups of commercial timber in Koh Kong province, Cambodia’s tropical rainforest is described. The simulation for these four groups had been successfully developed in the 5-year interval through year-60. Data were obtained from twenty permanent sample plots in the duration of thirteen years. The aim for this study was to develop stand table simulati...
متن کاملSeasonality of a Diverse Beetle Assemblage Inhabiting Lowland Tropical Rain Forest in Australia
One of the least understood aspects of insect diversity in tropical rain forests is the temporal structuring, or seasonality, of communities. We collected 29,986 beetles of 1473 species over a 4-yr period (45 monthly samples), with the aim to document the temporal dynamics of a trophically diverse beetle assemblage from lowland tropical rain forest at Cape Tribulation, Australia. Malaise and fl...
