Fig. A3 in Susceptibility of tropical mountain forests to biological invasions from the temperate and subtropical zone, exemplified by Zonitoides (Gastropoda: Gastrodontidae)
Fig. A3. Map of the occurrences of Zonitoides arboreus s.l. and Zonitoides nitidus used for the calculation of climatic suitability for the 20 km grid resolution.
Fig. A4 in Susceptibility of tropical mountain forests to biological invasions from the temperate and subtropical zone, exemplified by Zonitoides (Gastropoda: Gastrodontidae)
Fig. A4. Global climatic suitability for: (a) Zonitoides arboreus s.l.; and (b) Zonitoides nitidus based on Mahalanobis distances using the 20 km grid resolution. The higher the threshold, the more dissimilar are the climatic conditions to those of the majority of known occurrences, and>100% means that the climatic conditions are dissimilar to those of any other available record. Please note that the deserts of Africa, Arabia and Australia are unlikely places for a snail that inhabits (temperate) forests in its native range (Z. arboreus s.l.), and that the Great Lakes Region that seems well inhabited by Z. nitidus does not fully match its climate, what can only be explained from effects of averaging local climates at a larger grid scale.

Fig. 1 in Susceptibility of tropical mountain forests to biological invasions from the temperate and subtropical zone, exemplified by Zonitoides (Gastropoda: Gastrodontidae)
Fig. 1. Estimation of the phylogenetic relationships of the COI barcoding sequence from the Zonitoides specimens and two outgroups (labeled with their BOLD or GenBank accession numbers) using the Maximum Likelihood method based on the Tamura-Nei model. The tree with the highest log likelihood (−2138.3583) is shown. Branch lengths equal genetic distances in terms of the number of base substitutions per site. The percentage of replicate trees in which the associated taxa clustered together in the bootstrap test (500 replicates) are shown next to the branches. The tree was constructed in MEGA 6.0. Please note that the shell of (living) Z. nitidus is darkly pigmented, and that the extended animal of the depicted Z. nitidus started fading.

Two decades of annual landscape-scale tree growth and dynamics in old-growth tropical rainforest in the CARBONO Project, La Selva Biological Station, 1997-2018
<p>Here we present the complete data series from a 21-yr study of the annual growth and dynamics of trees, palms and lianas in the old-growth tropical rainforest at the La Selva Biological Station in Costa Rica. These observations were part of the CARBONO Project, a multidisciplinary team study of forest carbon cycling. The project was designed to assess forest processes at the landscape scale by sampling with replication across the within-landscape edaphic heterogeneity typical of tropical forests. Through more than two decades, forest growth and dynamics were assessed annually. The annual time-step used in the CARBONO Project effectively captured forest responses to major disturbances and to interannual and climatic variation. Annual measurements also enhanced the accuracy and long-term consistency of the data. To our knowledge, the resulting records are unique for tropical forests, where the dominant approach to studying the dynamics of a given forest has been to use a single plot and multi-year inter-census intervals. To date these CARBONO Project data have revealed: multi-decadal forest stability in spite of the short-term changes in forest structure resulting from major natural disturbances (e.g., the 1997-1998 Strong El Niño, and the extreme windstorm of May 2018); the dynamics and importance of large trees; and the responses of a major component of ecosystem productivity, aboveground wood production, to interannual and long-term climatic and atmospheric change. These data have also contributed to many remote-sensing studies.</p> <p>The data set consists of annual observations through the period 1997–2018 of the floristics, survival, recruitment, and growth of all woody stems (diameter <u>></u> 10 cm) in a landscape-scale plot network. At completion of the study, the data spanned 6705 individuals and 21 years. The data set is complete and has been through extensive internal checks for quality assurance. Detailed data documentation and an emphasis on measurement repeatability were prioritized through the study. The metadata include an extensive README file describing the data files and the methods, a document detailing the data management and qa/qc, and the scanned original field data-sheets for the 22 annual censuses.</p> <p>We gratefully acknowledge the careful long-term field work and data entry and checking by paraforesters Leonel Campos Otoya and William Miranda Conejo. Logistical support and the long-term protection of the La Selva reserve were provided by the Organization for Tropical Studies. The Ministerio de Ambiente y Energía of Costa Rica granted permits to carry out this study through the years of the study (most recently: Resolución No. 037-2018-ACCVC-PI).</p>
