Tree diversity and liana infestation predict acoustic diversity in logged tropical forests Open
Logged tropical forests can retain a great deal of biodiversity, but there is substantial variation in the type and severity of habitat degradation caused by logging. Logging-induced habitat degradation can vary significantly at fine spati…

Monitoring lianas from space: Using Sentinel-2 imagery to observe liana removal in logged tropical forests Open
Liana removal – the cutting of over-abundant woody climbing plants (lianas) – has the potential to substantially increase tree growth and biomass accumulation across millions of hectares of degraded tropical forest. Satellite imagery could…

Spatial distance, not environmental heterogeneity, explains fine-scale patterns of ß-diversity in multiple life stages of logged tropical forest trees Open
Selective logging of tropical forests substantially alters the composition and spatial arrangement of plant communities. Previous studies examining logged-forest tree assemblages have focused primarily on adult communities, leaving major k…

Approximate Bayesian Computation with Path Signatures Open
Simulation models often lack tractable likelihood functions, making likelihood-free inference methods indispensable. Approximate Bayesian computation generates likelihood-free posterior samples by comparing simulated and observed data thro…

Limited contributions of plant pathogens to density‐dependent seedling mortality of mast fruiting Bornean trees Open
Fungal pathogens are implicated in driving tropical plant diversity by facilitating strong, negative density‐dependent mortality of conspecific seedlings (C‐NDD). Assessment of the role of fungal pathogens in mediating coexistence derives …

Land‐sparing agriculture sustains higher levels of avian functional diversity than land sharing Open
The ecological impacts of meeting rising demands for food production can potentially be mitigated by two competing land‐use strategies: off‐setting natural habitats through intensification of existing farmland (land sparing), or elevating …

Genetic diversity of the myrtle rust pathogen (<i>Austropuccinia psidii</i>) in the Americas and Hawaii: Global implications for invasive threat assessments Open
Summary Since the myrtle rust pathogen ( Austropuccinia psidii ) was first reported (as Puccinia psidii ) in Brazil on guava ( Psidium guajava ) in 1884, it has been found infecting diverse myrtaceous species. Because A . psidii has recent…
