The Effects Of Distance To The Forest Edge On Avian Communities At Ficus Pertusa (Moraceae), September 2002, Julie R. Gilbertson Sep 2002

The Effects Of Distance To The Forest Edge On Avian Communities At Ficus Pertusa (Moraceae), September 2002, Julie R. Gilbertson

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

This study investigated the differences in bird diversity among 12 fruiting Ficus pertusa (Moraceae) trees at various distances from the forest edge in the Monteverde, Costa Rica region. Each of the 12 sites was observed for six nonconsecutive hours over a four-week study period. Bird diversity, abundance, evenness and similarity were calculated for each tree. A significant positive correlation was found between distance from the forest edge and bird diversity at the study sites (R² = 0.630; ANOVA f value = 17.036; p-value = 0.0021). Crop size was also found to have a significant relationship with diversity (R² = 0.776; …

Mist Variation And Epiphytic Orchid Abundance In A Monteverde Cloud Forest, May 2002, Christopher Frohlich May 2002

Mist Variation And Epiphytic Orchid Abundance In A Monteverde Cloud Forest, May 2002, Christopher Frohlich

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

There has been an observed increase in the frequency of days with no mist during the dry season in Monteverde (Pounds et al. 1999). This trend towards an increasingly dry environment could have detrimental effects on epiphytic orchids. The purpose of this project was to investigate the effect of mist level as well as mist frequency and branch direction on orchid abundance in 12 Daphnopsis americana (Lauraceae) host trees. Mist collectors were placed on 24 sample branches within the first horizontal angle of primary branches and mist was collected for eight days from all directions. Abundance counts of total orchids …


Mangrove Response To Attack By A Root Boring Isopod: Root Repair Versus Architectural Modification, Robert Allen Brooks, Susan S. Bell Apr 2002

Mangrove Response To Attack By A Root Boring Isopod: Root Repair Versus Architectural Modification, Robert Allen Brooks, Susan S. Bell

Integrative Biology Faculty and Staff Publications

The nature of the plant-animal interaction between wood-boring isopods and the red mangrove Rhizophora mangle L. has been controversial, with discussion ranging from the damage caused by the isopod being detrimental to beneficial for the mangroves they attack. Initiation of lateral roots by the mangrove in response to isopod burrowing has been one of the most commonly cited examples as support for the concept of beneficial herbivory. In this study, the possibility of root repair as a response of Rhizophora to burrowing by Sphaeroma terebrans Bate was evaluated. Previously burrowed prop roots were tagged in the field and the fate …
