Pathogens, density dependence and the coexistence of tropical trees. by Freckleton, R, Lewis, O

“…There is increasing interest in the role played by density-dependent mortality from natural enemies, particularly plant pathogens, in promoting the coexistence and diversity of tropical trees. Here, we review four issues in the analysis of pathogen-induced density dependence that have been overlooked or inadequately addressed. …”

Testosterone in tropical birds: How high and why? by Moore, I, Goymann, W, Scheuerlein, A, Hirschenhauser, K, Grafen, A, Wingfield, J

Biodiversity change and ecosystem function in tropical forests by Lewis, O

“…Recent debate about the fate of tropical forests has focused attention on the consequences of forest degradation and fragmentation for their diversity and composition, and the likely functional consequences of these changes. …”

Valuing the functionality of tropical ecosystems beyond carbon by Aguirre-Gutiérrez, J, Stevens, N, Berenguer, E

A tropical haze band in Titan's stratosphere by de Kok, R, Irwin, P, Teanby, N, Vinatier, S, Tosi, F, Negrao, A, Osprey, S, Adriani, A, Moriconi, M, Coradini, A

“…Titan's behaviour in the lower tropical stratosphere is remarkably similar to that of the Earth's tropical stratosphere, which hints at possible common dynamical processes. © 2009 Elsevier Inc. …”

A tropical mechanism for Northern Hemisphere deglaciation by Rodgers, K, Lohmann, G, Lorenz, S, Schneider, R, Henderson, G

“…[1] We investigate the role of the tropics in the melting and reforming of the Laurentide ice sheet on glacial timescales using an atmospheric general circulation model. …”

Novel viral vector vaccines for tropical infections by Rampling, T

“…At present, no licensed vaccine exists for either tropical infection. Viral vectors are showing great promise as a novel vaccine platform technology, having been shown to induce both cellular and humoral immune responses. …”

Tropical terrestrial invertebrates—where to from here? by Dahlsjo, CAL, Eggleton, P, Kitching, R

“…Here, we highlight priorities for future tropical terrestrial invertebrate research such as the efficiency of sustainable land management, exploration of innovative methods for better understanding of invertebrate ecology and behavior, and quantifying the role of invertebrates in ecosystem functioning.…”

Recovery and resilience of tropical forests after disturbance by Cole, L, Bhagwat, S, Willis, K

“…The time taken for forested tropical ecosystems to re-establish post-disturbance is of widespread interest. …”

Problems and opportunities in tropical rain-forest management by Neil, P

“…<p>This thesis attempts to describe the problems and opportunities that exist in methods used to manage the complex ecosystem of the Tropical Rain Forest (T.R.F.). The emphasis is on natural regeneration (N.R.J of this forest type, although artificial regeneration methods are briefly discussed where appropriate...…”

The world's tallest tropical tree in three dimensions by Shenkin, A, Chandler, C, Boyd, D, Jackson, T, Disney, M, Majalap, N, Nilus, R, Foody, G, Bin Jami, J, Reynolds, G, Wilkes, P, Cutler, M, Van Der Heijden, G, Burslem, D, Coomes, D, Bentley, L, Malhi, Y

State of surgery in tropical Africa: a review. by Lavy, C, Sauven, K, Mkandawire, N, Charian, M, Gosselin, R, Ndihokubwayo, J, Parry, E

“…This is a review of recently published literature on surgery in tropical Africa. It presents the current state of surgical need and surgical practice on the continent. …”

Seasonality in tropical AIDS: a geographical analysis. by Smallman-Raynor, MR, Cliff, A

“…Based upon the frequently hypothesized relationship between malnourishment and the progression to clinical AIDS in HIV-infected people, it is suggested that the variations in epidemic speed reflect the seasonal patterns of nutritional deficiency which occur under some tropical agricultural systems. These preliminary findings require further verification since they have important implications for directing nutrition-related remedial responses to the AIDS epidemic in tropical countries where malnutrition and endemic HIV infection coincide.…”

Dung beetle - mammal interactions in tropical forests by Raine, E

“…In this thesis I explore dung beetle - mammal associations in tropical forests, aiming to place dung beetle resource use in the context of the mammal species on which they rely. …”

Effect of experimental selective logging on tropical butterflies by Lewis, O

Andean grasslands are as productive as tropical cloud forests by Oliveras, I, Girardin, C, Doughty, C, Cahuana, N, Arenas, C, Oliver, V, Huaraca Huasco, W, Malhi, Y

“…We aim to assess net primary productivity (NPP) and carbon cycling in Andean tropical alpine grasslands (puna) and compare it with NPP of tropical montane cloud forests. …”

Carbon cycling in a Bornean tropical forest by Kho, L, Kho Lip Khoon

“…<p>The tropical forests on the island of Borneo are among of the richest in the world in terms of tree diversity, and their capacity to store a large reservoir of carbon. …”

Tropical abstractions of max-plus linear systems by Mufid, MS, Adzkiya, D, Abate, A

“…This paper describes the development of finite abstractions of Max-Plus-Linear (MPL) systems using tropical operations. The idea of tropical abstraction is inspired by the fact that an MPL system is a discrete-event model updating its state with operations in the tropical algebra. …”
