Compositional response of Amazon forests to climate change (2018)
Journal Article
Esquivel-Muelbert, A., Baker, T. R., Dexter, K. G., Lewis, S. L., Brienen, R., Feldpausch, T. R., …van der Heijden, G. (2019). Compositional response of Amazon forests to climate change. Global Change Biology, 25(1), 39-56. https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.14413

Most of the planet’s diversity is concentrated in the tropics, which includes many regions undergoing rapid climate change. Yet, while climate-induced biodiversity changes are widely documented elsewhere, few studies have addressed this issue for low...

Environmental drivers of forest structure and stem turnover across Venezuelan tropical forests (2018)
Journal Article
Vilanova, E., Ramírez-Angulo, H., Torres-Lezama, A., Aymard, G., Gámez, L., Durán, C., …Ettl, G. J. (2018). Environmental drivers of forest structure and stem turnover across Venezuelan tropical forests. PLoS ONE, 13(6), Article e0198489. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0198489

Using data from 50 long-term permanent plots from across Venezuelan forests in northern South America, we explored large-scale patterns of stem turnover, aboveground biomass (AGB) and woody productivity (AGWP), and the relationships between them and...

Species distribution modelling: contrasting presence-only models with plot abundance data (2018)
Journal Article
Gomes, V. H., IJff, S. D., Raes, N., Amaral, I. L., Salomão, R. P., de Souza Coelho, L., …ter Steege, H. (in press). Species distribution modelling: contrasting presence-only models with plot abundance data. Scientific Reports, 8(1), Article 1003. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-18927-1

Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used in ecology and conservation. Presence-only SDMs such as MaxEnt frequently use natural history collections (NHCs) as occurrence data, given their huge numbers and accessibility. NHCs are often spatial...
