Few studies have found strong evidence to suggest that ecotones promote species richness and diversity. In this study we examine the responses of a high-Andean bird community to changes in vegetation and topographical ...

Native vegetation is often used as a proxy for habitat to estimate habitat availability in landscapes. This approach may lead to incorrect estimates of the impacts of habitat loss and fragmentation on species, which have ...

The impact of invasive species on below ground flora may differ from that on the above ground vegetation. Recent reviews of invaded and native communities emphasize the need for more comprehensive information on the impacts ...

An unusual pattern has been described in Patagonian forests, where bird species diversity seems to be inversely correlated with vegetation complexity. To test the occurrence of this pattern in the northern Nothofagus forests ...

The new Grammatophyllum multiflorum species is described and illustrated.
