    • Consistent diel activity patterns of forest mammals among tropical regions 

      Vallejo-Vargas, Andrea F.; Sheil, Douglas; Semper-Pascual, Asunción; Beaudrot, Lydia; Ahumada, Jorge A.; Akampurira, Emmanuel; Bitariho, Robert; Espinosa, Santiago; Estienne, Vittoria; Jansen, Patrick A.; Kayijamahe, Charles; Martin, Emanuel H.; Lima, Marcela Guimarães Moreira; Mugerwa, Badru; Rovero, Francesco; Salvador, Julia; Santos, Fernanda; Spironello, Wilson Roberto; Uzabaho, Eustrate; Bischof, Richard (Nature communications, 2022)
      An animal’s daily use of time (their “diel activity”) reflects their adaptations, requirements, and interactions, yet we know little about the underlying processes governing diel activity within and among communities. Here ...

    • The global biogeography of tree leaf form and habit 

      Ma, Haozhi; Crowther, Thomas W.; Mo, Lidong; Maynard, Daniel S.; Renner, Susanne S.; Hoogen, Johan van den; Zou, Yibiao; Liang, Jingjing; Bitariho, Robert; de-Miguel, Sergio; Nabuurs, Gert-Jan; et al (Nature Plants, 2023-10-23)
      Understanding what controls global leaf type variation in trees is crucial for comprehending their role in terrestrial ecosystems, including carbon, water and nutrient dynamics. Yet our understanding of the factors influencing ...

    • Niche partitioning and densities of Albertine Rift endemics and their congeners in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Uganda 

      Shaw, Philip (Ostrich, 2010)
      Biogeographical theory predicts that restricted-range species should typically occur at lower densities than ecologically similar, but geographically widespread species. Exceptions may arise where endemics occupy distinctive ...

    • The status of anthropogenic threat at the people-park interface of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda 

      Olupot, William; Barigyira, Robert; Chapman, Colin A. (Environmental Conservation, 2009)
      Effective management of anthropogenic threats is key to sustaining biological diversity in protected areas. Types and distribution of threats to Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda were investigated to assess the ...
