DOI: 10.1007/s00248-017-1002-2
Abstract: The extent to which distinct bacterial endophyte communities occur between different plant organs and species is poorly known and has implications for bioprospecting efforts. Using the V3 region of the bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12223-017-0575-y
Abstract: Tropical rainforest soils harbor a considerable diversity of soil fauna that contributes to emissions of N2O. Despite their ecological dominance, there is limited information available about the contribution of epigeal ant mounds to N2O emissions… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2017.08.032
Abstract: Abstract Formal protected areas are a critical conservation measure so long as their tenure is defined and secure and they are well managed. Protected areas in developed countries are assumed to meet these criteria and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.forpol.2017.06.001
Abstract: Abstract Forest policy-making can be dramatically enhanced by implementing computer based decision support systems (DSS) during the development phase. While stakeholders usually agree on general policy objectives, the best course of action for achieving them… read more here.

Isotopic and microbotanical insights into Iron Age agricultural reliance in the Central African rainforest
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Communications Biology"
DOI: 10.1038/s42003-020-01324-2
Abstract: The emergence of agriculture in Central Africa has previously been associated with the migration of Bantu-speaking populations during an anthropogenic or climate-driven ‘opening’ of the rainforest. However, such models are based on assumptions of environmental… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/icb/icx088
Abstract: Abundance is a key parameter in microbial ecology, and important to estimates of potential metabolite flux, impacts of dispersal, and sensitivity of samples to technical biases such as laboratory contamination. However, modern amplicon-based sequencing techniques… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ele.13628
Abstract: How are rainforest birds faring in the Anthropocene? We use bird captures spanning > 35 years from 55 sites within a vast area of intact Amazonian rainforest to reveal reduced abundance of terrestrial and near-ground insectivores in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.16867
Abstract: Accelerating climate change and habitat loss make it imperative that plans to conserve biodiversity consider species' ability to adapt to changing environments. However, in biomes where biodiversity is highest, the evolutionary mechanisms responsible for generating… read more here.

DOI: 10.6620/zs.2017.56-02
Abstract: Gérard Dubost, and Olivier Henry (2017) Seasonal changes in tropical forests have been documented in dry and semi-deciduous forests, but not in evergreen ones. Owing to its high level of annual rainfall, French Guiana is… read more here.
