Alpha and beta diversity of plants and animals along a tropical land-use gradient
(IPB (Bogor Agricultural University), 2010)
Assessing the overall biological diversity of tropical rain forests is a seemingly insurmountable task for ecologists. Therefore, researchers frequently sample selected taxa that they believe reflect general biodiversity ...
Tradeoffs between income, biodiversity, and ecosystem functioning during tropical rainforest conversion and agroforestry intensification
(IPB (Bogor Agricultural University), 2006)
Losses of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning due to rainforest destruction and agricultural intensification are prime concerns for science and society alike. Potentially, ecosystems show nonlinear responses to land-use ...
Spatiotemporal density patterns of the pest predator Rhynchium haemorrhoidale (F.) along a land-use gradient in cacao agroforestry systems
(IPB (Bogor Agricultural University), 2008)
Tropical insect species show year-round breeding activity due to favourable climatic conditions. However, most species also display seasonal reproductive peaks, but little is known about underlying causes of temporal density ...
Temperature and a dominant dolichoderine ant species affect ant diversity in Indonesian cacao plantations
(IPB (Bogor Agricultural University), 2010)
Agricultural land conversion and climate change play a major role in shaping tropical landscapes, but the direct and indirect links to biodiversity and species community composition remain little understood. We tested how ...
