Aim: Site-level species richness is thought to result from both local conditions and species’ evolutionary history, but the nature of the evolutionary effect, and how much it underlies the correlation with current environment, are debated. Although t... Read More about Phylogenetic structure and ecological and evolutionary determinants of species richness.

An estimate of the number of tropical tree species (2015)
Journal Article
Slik, J. F., Arroyo-Rodríguez, V., Aiba, S.-I., Alvarez-Loayza, P., Alves, L. F., & Field, R. (2015). An estimate of the number of tropical tree species. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 112(24), https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1423147112

The high species richness of tropical forests has long been recognized, yet there remains substantial uncertainty regarding the actual number of tropical tree species. Using a pantropical tree inventory database from closed canopy forests, consisting... Read More about An estimate of the number of tropical tree species.
