Condit R Ashton PS Baker P Bunyavejchewin S Gunatilleke S Gunatilleke N Hubbell SP Foster RB Itoh A LaFrankie JV Lee HS Losos E Manokaran N Sukumar R Yamakura T 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》2000,288(5470):1414-1418
Fully mapped tree census plots of large area, 25 to 52 hectares, have now been completed at six different sites in tropical forests, including dry deciduous to wet evergreen forest on two continents. One of the main goals of these plots has been to evaluate spatial patterns in tropical tree populations. Here the degree of aggregation in the distribution of 1768 tree species is examined based on the average density of conspecific trees in circular neighborhoods around each tree. When all individuals larger than 1 centimeter in stem diameter were included, nearly every species was more aggregated than a random distribution. Considering only larger trees (>/= 10 centimeters in diameter), the pattern persisted, with most species being more aggregated than random. Rare species were more aggregated than common species. All six forests were very similar in all the particulars of these results. 相似文献

Single trees of six species of strangler figs (Ficus spp., Moraceae) in Panama were found to be made up of multiple genotypes, presumably formed by the fusion of different individuals. The phenomenon is frequent enough that strangler fig populations will contain considerably more genetic variation than would be expected from the number of trees. How this cryptic variation affects populations depends on the flowering phonology of composite trees. If the genetically different portions of trees flower asynchronously, populations of pollinating wasps may be more resistant to low host population sizes than previously thought. If different portions flower synchronously, attempts to infer mating-system parameters from the parentage of fruit crops will be misleading. The fruiting of figs, which are considered a keystone species in tropical forests, is important for maintaining biodiversity but is also particularly susceptible to failure at small population sizes. It is therefore important to know both the number of trees and the number of genotypes in a population. 相似文献

该文着重阐述了林木在同工酶水平上的变异模式,指出林木,特别是裸子植物是生物中遗传变异最大的物种,而且林木种内存在着丰富的变异,群体间分化程度低;等位基因频率及杂合度等多样性指标常与一些环境因子存在相关关系;比较了天然林与人工林(包括种子园、试验林)子代的遗传多样性水平,发现在合理建园并采取适当营林措施时,种子园(或人工林)子代的多样性水平并不会降低.此外,还分析了影响林木遗传变异的因子,并概述了保存林木遗传多样性的几种策略. 相似文献

Diversity in tropical rain forests and coral reefs 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18

The commonly observed high diversity of trees in tropical rain forests and corals on tropical reefs is a nonequilibrium state which, if not disturbed further, will progress toward a low-diversity equilibrium community. This may not happen if gradual changes in climate favor different species. If equilibrium is reached, a lesser degree of diversity may be sustained by niche diversification or by a compensatory mortality that favors inferior competitors. However, tropical forests and reefs are subject to severe disturbances often enough that equilibrium may never be attained. 相似文献

Patterns of species richness and relative abundance at some scales cannot be distinguished from predictions of null models, including zero-sum neutral models of population change and random speciation-extinction models of evolutionary diversification. Both models predict that species richness or population abundance produced by independent iterations of the same processes in different regions should be uncorrelated. We find instead that the number of species and individuals in families of trees in forest plots are strongly correlated across Southeast Asia, Africa, and tropical America. These correlations imply that deterministic processes influenced by evolutionarily conservative family-level traits constrain the number of confamilial tree species and individuals that can be supported in regional species pools and local assemblages in humid tropical forests. 相似文献

Despite recent progress in understanding mechanisms of tree species coexistence in tropical forests, a simple explanation for the even more extensive diversity of insects feeding on these plants has been missing. We compared folivorous insects from temperate and tropical trees to test the hypothesis that herbivore species coexistence in more diverse communities could reflect narrow host specificity relative to less diverse communities. Temperate and tropical tree species of comparable phylogenetic distribution supported similar numbers of folivorous insect species, 29.0 +/- 2.2 and 23.5 +/- 1.8 per 100 square meters of foliage, respectively. Host specificity did not differ significantly between community samples, indicating that food resources are not more finely partitioned among folivorous insects in tropical than in temperate forests. These findings suggest that the latitudinal gradient in insect species richness could be a direct function of plant diversity, which increased sevenfold from our temperate to tropical study sites. 相似文献

以海南浆纸林为研究对象,研究不同浆纸林类型、不同管理方式等对浆纸林林下植物物种多样性的影响。结果表明,不同密度的桉树浆纸林,虽然其林下植物个体数与物种多样性指数存在差异,但没有明显的规律性。农户经营模式下的林下草本个体数表现出少于公司经营的趋势,但物种丰富度却表现出高于公司经营的趋势。与其他人工经济林、荒坡植被和次生林相比,海南浆纸林没有表现出明显抑制林下物种生长与分布的现象,相反,在大多数对比调查中,表现出浆纸林林下具有更多的物种多样性和个体数。 相似文献

Patterns of tree abundance and dispersion in a tropical deciduous (dry) forest are summarized. The generalization that tropical trees have spaced adults did not hold. All species were either clumped or randomly dispersed, with rare species more clumped than common species. Breeding system was unrelated to species abundance or dispersion, but clumping was related to mode of seed dispersal. Juvenile densities decreased approximately exponentially away from adults. Rare species gave evidence of poor reproductive performance compared with their performance when common in nearby forests. Patterns of relative species abundance in the dry forest are compared with patterns in other forests, and are explained by a simple stochastic model based on random-walk immigration and extinction set in motion by periodic community disturbance. 相似文献

分析白龙江林区2种次生林群落与结构组成,丰富该地区森林动态资料,为该地区生物多样性保护和生态恢复提供一定的科学依据。采用群落生态学研究方法,于自然恢复林中选取次生林栎林(LL)和桦木林(HM)2种林分,分别设置8块20 m×20 m固定样地,对胸径≥3 cm的林木进行每木检尺,计算群落多样性指数、特征值和相似性系数等指标。结果表明,HM和LL中树种丰富且在群落内空间分布比较均匀。LL中共有植物70种,属于46个属、26个科,以壳斗科、蔷薇科、松科、忍冬科为主;HM中共有植物63种,属于35个属、22个科,以桦木科、蔷薇科、松科、杨柳科为主。LL和HM径级结构均呈倒“J”型,群落个体主要集中在Ⅰ~Ⅲ级,Ⅴ龄级以后个体较少,表明2种群落均为增长型。2种次生林群落树种组成、空间结构存在异同,HM和LL群落均表现出多数种集中在少数科。说明试验林分植被恢复遵循群落演替动态规律,选择起源和演化具有相似性的树种作为建群种。建议在该地区搭配合理的其他树种,提高林分质量,加强次生林优势植物的利用。 相似文献

It is debated whether species-level differences in ecological strategy, which play a key role in much of coexistence theory, are important in structuring highly diverse communities. We examined the co-occurrence patterns of over 1100 tree species in a 25-hectare Amazonian forest plot in relation to field-measured functional traits. Using a null model approach, we show that co-occurring trees are often less ecologically similar than a niche-free (neutral) model predicts. Furthermore, we find evidence for processes that simultaneously drive convergence and divergence in key aspects of plant strategy, suggesting that at least two distinct niche-based processes are occurring. Our results show that strategy differentiation among species contributes to the maintenance of diversity in one of the most diverse tropical forests in the world. 相似文献

混交度是描述混交林中不同树种之间隔离程度的重要空间结构指数。由于忽略对象木周围邻近木的空间分布,传统混交度、树种多样性混交度和树种分隔程度空间测度指数在计算混交度时,使得一些不同混交程度混交林具有相同混交度;全混交度对只有几株对象木的结构单元,不能够体现出完全混交的状态。这些给混交林的混交度调查和不同混交林之间的混交度比较带来困难。鉴于此,依据物种空间结构特征和树种多样性,考虑结构单元中树种类型及分布差异,提出一种更具普遍意义的改进型混交度。通过不同的理论典型混交林和天目山不同混交程度的样地数据对不同混交度指数进行对比分析。结果得到:①对于混交程度不同的混交林,改进型混交度计算结果不同;②对于混交程度不是很强烈的混交林,改进型混交度描述更加准确。所以,该混交度是一个很好区分混交林的空间结构指数。 相似文献

Elephants from the tropical forests of Africa are morphologically distinct from savannah or bush elephants. Dart-biopsy samples from 195 free-ranging African elephants in 21 populations were examined for DNA sequence variation in four nuclear genes (1732 base pairs). Phylogenetic distinctions between African forest elephant and savannah elephant populations corresponded to 58% of the difference in the same genes between elephant genera Loxodonta (African) and Elephas (Asian). Large genetic distance, multiple genetically fixed nucleotide site differences, morphological and habitat distinctions, and extremely limited hybridization of gene flow between forest and savannah elephants support the recognition and conservation management of two African species: Loxodonta africana and Loxodonta cyclotis. 相似文献
