Adaptation to seasonal drought in two closely related species of Neotropical Costus (Costaceae)

Chen, Grace F.; Schemske, Douglas W. (2019)

Seasonal drought has been shown to greatly influence the distributions and species composition of plants in tropical rain forests. By conducting a series of field, greenhouse, and growth chamber experiments, we examined ...

Evolution and the latitudinal diversity gradient: speciation, extinction and biogeography

Mittelbach, Gary G.; Schemske, Douglas W.; Cornell, Howard V.; Allen, Andrew P.; Brown, Jonathan M.; Bush, Mark B.; Harrison, Susan P.; Hurlbert, Allen H.; Knowlton, Nancy; Lessios, Harilaos A.; McCain, Christy M.; McCune, Amy R.; McDade, Lucinda A.; McPeek, Mark A.; Near, Thomas J.; Price, Trevor D.; Ricklefs, Robert E.; Roy, Kaustuv; Sax, Dov F.; Schluter, Dolph; Sobel, James M.; Turelli, Michael (2007)

Abstract A latitudinal gradient in biodiversity has existed since before the time of the dinosaurs, yet how and why this gradient arose remains unresolved. Here we review two major hypotheses for the origin of the latitudinal ...

Perennial biomass feedstocks enhance avian diversity

Robertson, Bruce A.; Doran, Patrick J.; Loomis, Liz R.; Robertson, J. Roy; Schemske, Douglas W. (2011)

Federal mandates to increase biofuel production in North America will require large new tracts of land with potential to negatively impact biodiversity, yet empirical information to guide implementation is limited. Because ...

Pollinator Assemblages and Visitation Rates for 11 Species of Neotropical Costus (Costaceae)

Kay, Kathleen M.; Schemske, Douglas W. (2003)

Most plant species in tropical forests are pollinated by animals, and yet the diversity and specificity of pollinator assemblages are poorly documented. Here, we investigated pollinator relationships for 11 species of ...

Treefalls and the distribution of understory birds in a tropical forest
