Diversity of the volatile organic compounds emitted by 55 species of tropical trees: a survey in French GuianaElodie A Courtois
Laboratoire Evolution et Diversité Biologique, UMR 5174 CNRS Université Paul Sabatier, 118, route de Narbonne, 31062 Toulouse, France
J Chem Ecol 35:1349-62. 2009..This study emphasizes three aspects of VOC emission by tropical tree species: the species-specificity of the mixtures, the importance of sesquiterpenes, and the wide-ranging complexity of the mixtures...
A spatially explicit neutral model of beta-diversity in tropical forestsJerome Chave
Laboratoire d Ecologie Terrestre, CNRS UMR 5552, 13, Avenue du Colonel Roche, F 31029, Toulouse, Cedex 4, France
Theor Popul Biol 62:153-68. 2002..Analytical results are compared with individual-based simulations, and the relevance to field observations is discussed...- Towards a worldwide wood economics spectrumJerome Chave
Laboratoire Evolution et Diversité Biologique, UMR 5174, CNRS Université Paul Sabatier, Bâtiment 4R3, Toulouse, France
Ecol Lett 12:351-66. 2009..We then discuss the biogeography, evolution and biogeochemistry of the spectrum, and conclude by pointing out the major gaps in our current knowledge of wood functional traits... 
Assessing evidence for a pervasive alteration in tropical tree communitiesJerome Chave
Laboratoire Evolution et Diversité Biologique CNRS Université Paul Sabatier, Toulouse, France
PLoS Biol 6:e45. 2008..More long-term studies are necessary to clarify the contribution of global change to the functioning of tropical forests...- Regional and phylogenetic variation of wood density across 2456 Neotropical tree speciesJerome Chave
Laboratoire Evolution et Diversité Biologique, CNRS UMR 5174, Université Paul Sabatier Bâtiment 4R3, 31062 Toulouse, France
Ecol Appl 16:2356-67. 2006..Our unprecedented wood density data set yields consistent guidelines for estimating wood densities when species-level information is lacking and should significantly reduce error in Central and South American carbon accounting programs... - Tree allometry and improved estimation of carbon stocks and balance in tropical forestsJ Chave
Laboratoire Evolution et Diversité Biologique UMR 5174, CNRS UPS, Bâtiment IVR3, Universite Paul Sabatier, 118 route de Narbonne, 31062, Toulouse, France
Oecologia 145:87-99. 2005.... - Error propagation and scaling for tropical forest biomass estimatesJerome Chave
Laboratoire Evolution et Diversité Biologique UMR 5174 CNRS UPS, Bâtiment 4R3, 118 route de Narbonne F 31062 Toulouse, France
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci 359:409-20. 2004..We find that the most important source of error is currently related to the choice of the allometric model. More work should be devoted to improving the predictive power of allometric models for biomass... - Differences in volatile terpene composition between the bark and leaves of tropical tree speciesElodie A Courtois
Laboratoire Evolution et Diversité Biologique, UMR 5174 CNRS Université Paul Sabatier, 118 route de Narbonne, Toulouse, France
Phytochemistry 82:81-8. 2012..This supports our hypothesis and further suggests that the emission of terpenes by the bark should be more important for trunk defense than previously thought... - Mast fruiting is a frequent strategy in woody species of eastern South AmericaNatalia Norden
Laboratoire Evolution et Diversité Biologique, UMR 5174 Université Paul Sabatier CNRS, Toulouse, France
PLoS ONE 2:e1079. 2007..Moreover, reproductive strategies have been quantified based on the coefficient of variation of interannual seed production, an index that potentially confounds masting and high interannual variability in seed production... - Identification of Amazonian trees with DNA barcodesMailyn Adriana Gonzalez
Laboratoire Evolution et Diversité Biologique, Université Paul Sabatier and CNRS, UMR 5174, Toulouse, France
PLoS ONE 4:e7483. 2009..Large-scale plant diversity inventories are critical to develop informed conservation strategies. However, the workload required for classic taxonomic surveys remains high and is particularly problematic for megadiverse tropical forests... - Analyzing tropical forest tree species abundance distributions using a nonneutral model and through approximate Bayesian inferenceFranck Jabot
Laboratoire Evolution et Diversité Biologique, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Universite Paul Sabatier, Bâtiment 4R3, 31062 Toulouse, Cedex 4, France
Am Nat 178:E37-47. 2011..Finally, we discuss whether observed deviations from neutrality may be interpreted as the signature of environmental filtering on tropical tree species abundance distributions... - Inferring the parameters of the neutral theory of biodiversity using phylogenetic information and implications for tropical forestsFranck Jabot
Laboratoire Evolution et Diversité Biologique, CNRS, Universite Paul Sabatier, Bâtiment 4R3, Toulouse Cedex 4, France
Ecol Lett 12:239-48. 2009..This implies that neutral-compatible regional pools of tropical trees should extend over continental scales, and that m measures, in this context, mostly the frequency of long-distance dispersal events... - Theoretical biology: comparing models of species abundanceJerome Chave
Laboratoire Evolution et Diversité Biologique, UMR5174 CNRS, Universite Paul Sabatier, 31062 Toulouse
