Woody plant species with free-standing stems >=1 cm diameter were surveyed at 72 locations near the Panama Canal, spanning geological formations and a rainfall gradient. Patterns of tree species distribution relating to ...
We present data on ocelot ecology in the area of Darien, through cameras traps. We obtained information on density, circadian activity and minimum home ranges. The population of ocelots in Cana has one of the highest ...

Seasonal tropical forests exhibit a great diversity of leaf exchange patterns. Within these forests variation in the timing and intensity of leaf exchange may occur within and among individual trees and species, as well ...
Over the last 50 years, tropical forests have been exploited for timber extraction, cleared for agriculture, pasture and roads and degraded by wildfires and overhunting (Laurance & Peres, 2006; Sodhi et al., 2007). The ...
