The puzzling ecology of African Marantaceae forests Open
Marantaceae forests are tropical rainforests characterized by a continuous understory layer of perennial giant herbs and a near absence of tree regeneration. Although widespread in West‐Central Africa, Marantaceae forests have rarely been …

Beyond variance: simple random distributions are not a good proxy for intraspecific variability in systems with environmental structure Open
The role of intraspecific variability (IV) in shaping community dynamics and species coexistence has been intensively discussed over the past decade and modelling studies have played an important role in that respect. However, these studie…

Rethinking the role of intraspecific variability in species coexistence Open
Intraspecific variability (IV) has been proposed as a new track to explain species coexistence. Previous studies generally assumed that IV results from intrinsic differences between conspecifics that widen species’ fundamental niches and b…

FORESTT – Forêts et changements globaux : systèmes socio-écologiques en transition Open
Forest social ecological systems play a determinant role in adaptation to global change and mitigation processes. However, managers and decision-makers are faced with many uncertainties due to the major threats to the maintenance of the ec…

Rethinking the nature of intraspecific variability and its consequences on species coexistence Open
Intraspecific variability (IV) has been proposed to explain species coexistence in diverse communities. Assuming, sometimes implicitly, that conspecific individuals can perform differently in the same environment and that IV increases nich…

Exploring the link between spectral variance and upper canopy taxonomic diversity in a tropical forest: influence of spectral processing and feature selection Open
The rapid loss of biodiversity in tropical rainforests calls for new remote sensing approaches capable of providing rapid estimates of biodiversity over large areas. Imaging spectroscopy has shown potential for the estimation of taxonomic …

Pantropical variability in tree crown allometry Open
Aim Tree crowns determine light interception, carbon and water exchange. Thus, understanding the factors causing tree crown allometry to vary at the tree and stand level matters greatly for the development of future vegetation modelling an…

Spatial validation reveals poor predictive performance of large-scale ecological mapping models Open
Mapping aboveground forest biomass is central for assessing the global carbon balance. However, current large-scale maps show strong disparities, despite good validation statistics of their underlying models. Here, we attribute this contra…
