Tropical dry forests exhibit difficulties in the identification of phenological patterns of plants and changes in functional traits of animals in response to climatic variables. Our goal is to determine how the phenology ...

Mountains are model systems for understanding the mechanisms that underlie patterns of biodiversity and ecosystem function. This study disentangles the effects of climatic and edaphic properties on patterns of trait variation ...

Butterflies represent a model taxon in biodiversity and conservation studies; yet few studies have documented changes in butterfly abundance over time in tropical ecosystems, especially in Puerto Rico or the Caribbean where ...
