Pan‐tropical prediction of forest structure from the largest trees
(Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2018)
Aim: Large tropical trees form the interface between ground and airborne observations, offering a unique opportunity to capture forest properties remotely and to investigate their variations on broad scales. However, despite ...
On the scaling of activity in tropical forest mammals
(Oikos, 2020)
