Ecological trade-offs in Amazon hyperdominant trees: locally abundant (local dominants) or regionally widespread (widespread dominants), but rarely both (oligarchs).

New paper out from our lab📢❗️

We found a negative abundance-occupancy relationship among dominant species in western Amazonian forests.

This relationship is stronger in habitats with nutrient-poor conditions, such as swamps and white sands.

Lianas are special!

Douglas Fox brilliantly narrates our growing understanding of this neglected, vital force in forest dynamics and climate change. Superbly illustrated by @zieglerphoto1

Here some news about the recent work published by our group! 👇

[UCCUAM @UCCUAM]

📣 La diversidad y heterogeneidad de especies de árboles es mayor cerca del #ecuador

📌 Los hallazgos de un estudio liderado por investigadoras/es de @biologia_uam ayudarán a conocer y proteger la #biodiversidad en estos ambientes remotos y diversos

The Amazon rainforest is one of the most vital major ecosystems on Earth—but it is under threat.

In this issue of Science, researchers underscore the rapid and profound changes occurring in the Amazon resulting from ever-increasing human activity. https://t.co/L2JeWVmCM7

Check out the new paper from our lab about latitudinal patterns of diversity in @JBiogeography 👀

[Julia G. de Aledo @juliagdealedo]

My first PhD paper just got published!😙

👉About how latitudinal diversity gradients change in different Amazonian forest types.

👉We found that alpha, beta diversity and dominant patterns were especially different in floodplain forests!🌿🌴

Logging of tropical forests causes carbon from dead and damaged trees to be emitted, but the remaining trees grow rapidly and so post-logging forests are expected to be carbon sinks. 1/

This friday, @juliagdealedo will talk about some of her PhD research and results in the tropics! 👇👀
