(University of Idaho, Moscow, ID (EUA), Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE), Turrialba (Costa Rica), 2007)
The overall objetive of my research was to understand the value of forest fragments to a diverse group of rainforest birds that depend on lowland tropical rainforest for their survival at one part or all of their annual ...
Effects of habitat fragmentation on the reproductive ecology and conservation genetics of the almendro (Dipteryx panamensis), a keystone rainforest tree
(Centro Agronómico Tropical de Investigación y Enseñanza (CATIE), Turrialba (Costa Rica), University of Idaho, Moscow, ID (EUA), 2006)
Deforestation in the tropics creates a mosaic of forest patches embedded in a human-dominated matrix. Maintaining biodiversity in these fragmented landscapes relies on their ability to sustain ecological processes. This ...
