Demographic rates of 165 tree species in a moist tropical forest
<p>Mortality, recruitment and growth rates of 165 tree species on Barro Colorado Island from 1990 to 2014. The demographic rates are calculated based on the BCI (Barro Colorado Island) plot data.

The first comprehensive revision of all the species attributed to Melomys led J. I. Menzies in 1996 to resurrect the genus Paramelomys and to redefine its morphologicallimits and species content. Menzies created P. gressitti as a new species belonging to a group displaying morphological similarities and including also P. lorentzii and P. moncktoni. Monotypic Distribution. E New Guinea. Descriptive notes. Head-body 135-162 mm, hindfoot 30-34 mm; no specific data are available for body weight. Gressitt's Mosaic-tailed Rat is a medium-sized Paramelomys with a soft, thick and woolly pelage, a long narrow foot, and a tail with three hairs per scale. It exhibits a medium-sepia dorsal pelage and a gray-buff ventral one. Tail is slightly shorter (99%) than head-body length. The skull has a narrow zygomatic plate. Habitat. Moist tropical mountain forest between 2300 m and 2400 m. Food and Feeding. No information. Breeding. No information. Activity patterns. Gressitt's Mosaic-tailed Rat is terrestrial. Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information. Status and Conservation. Classified as Endangered on The IUCN Red List owing to its small geographic range (less than 3500 km?*) and the destruction ofits habitat by mining and logging activities. The major threat to Gressitt's Mosaic-tailed Rat is ongoing habitat degradation caused by nearby human populations; habitat on Mount Kandy has been destroyed by gold-miners and wood-cutters.

Recovery of seedling community attributes during passive restoration of a tropical moist forest in Uganda
<p><strong>Aim: </strong>There has been a debate about the effectiveness of passive restoration for recovering tropical forests, but few studies quantify the success of passive restoration. The aim of this study was to better understand tropical forest succession under a passive restoration scenario. We compared floristic and functional attributes of seedlings in a passively-restored and an old-growth forest, and assessed the effect of restoration age and distance from the old-growth forest on seedling attributes.</p> <p><strong>Location:</strong> Kibale National Park, western Uganda</p> <p><strong>Methods:</strong> We measured seedlings in a passively-restored and an old‐growth forest in 2011, 2014 and 2017. We determined species diversity, structure and composition and searched the literature for functional traits. We used generalized linear mixed-effects models to compare seedling attributes between the restored and old-growth forest and determine the influence of restoration age and distance from the old-growth forest.</p> <p><strong>Results:</strong> Seedling species abundance, evenness, basal area and height were similar between the restored and old-growth forest. Wood density and abundance of seedlings of different dispersal modes, habitat types, fruit size categories, and regeneration strategies were also similar between the restored and old-growth forest. However, richness, diversity and composition of seedlings were different. We found a positive effect of restoration age on species abundance and abundance of non-zoochorous, medium-fruited, forest-dependent, non-pioneer light demander and shade-tolerant species, and a negative effect on evenness, wood density, abundance of pioneers and compositional dissimilarity. Basal area of seedlings and the abundance of zoochorous and forest-dependent species declined while compositional dissimilarity increased with distance from the old-growth forest.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Our results provide empirical evidence on the potential of passive restoration to recover the structure and functionality of tropical forests in a relatively short period of time. We demonstrate that the effect of restoration age and distance from the old-growth forest is not straightforward and depends on the attributes measured.</p>
