Consistent diel activity patterns of forest mammals among tropical regions
(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 ...
On the scaling of activity in tropical forest mammals
(Oikos, 2020)
Activity range - the amount of time spent active per day - is a fundamental aspect contributing to the optimization process by which animals achieve energetic balance. Based on their size and the nature of their diet, ...
Consistent daily activity patterns across tropical forest mammal communities
(Research square, 2022)
Most animals follow distinct daily activity patterns reflecting their adaptations1, requirements, and
Interactions 2-4. Specific communities provide specific opportunities and constraints to their members that further ...
Occupancy winners in tropical protected forests: a pantropical analysis
(2022)
The structure of forest mammal communities appears surprisingly consistent across the continental tropics, presumably due to convergent evolution in similar environments. Whether such consistency extends to mammal occupancy, ...
Human density modulates spatial associations among tropical forest terrestrial mammal species
(Global Change Biology, 2022)
The spatial aggregation of species pairs often increases with the ecological similarity of the species involved. However, the way in which environmental conditions and anthropogenic activity affect the relationship between ...
Evolutionary history and environmental variability structure contemporary tropical vertebrate communities
(Global Ecol Biogeogr, 2024)
Linear regression models, we test three non- mutually exclusive hypotheses by comparing the relative importance of colonization time, palaeo-environmental changes in temperature and land cover since 3.3 Mya, contemporary ...
