Journal of Ecology has just published a new research article by Donald et al. “A test of community assembly rules using foliar endophytes from a tropical forest canopy” Authors Julian Donald, Léonie Péllissier and Uxue Suescun discuss how they used endophytes as a model system to test what factors best explain the assembly of diverse…
Journal of Ecology recently published a new review by Staggemeier et al. “The circular nature of recurrent life cycle events: a test comparing tropical and temperate phenology.” Here authors Vanessa Graziele Staggemeier, Maria Gabriela Gutierrez & Patrícia Morellato discuss their study in more detail and highlight the importance of circular statistics. Since von Humboldt, many…
