Linking Amazon Forest Dynamics with Mammalian Diversity
Angebote / Angebote:
Natural disturbances such as treefalls are a major
component of tropical forest dynamics. These
omnipresent treefall gaps are crucial for forest
regeneration and promote plant diversity. However the
effects of treefalls on mammals are not well
understood. This book provides novel insights into
the population dynamics, community structure, and
species richness of terrestrial and arboreal small
mammals in treefall gaps and undisturbed forests
within the Amazonas.
The discovery of a reciprocal source-sink dynamics
and the underlying mechanisms of higher mammalian
species diversity in gaps contributes to a better
understanding of the role of natural disturbances.
This book will be especial useful for biology
students and professionals interested in tropical
ecology and new strategies for conservation and
forest management.
