It turns out we shouldn't expect #eDNA to capture local diversity/composition of tropical trees but rather broad patterns across regions. Together with a fairly coarse taxonomic resolution, the utility of eDNA for biodiversity monitoring of tropical forest trees is probably limited.

🌿 Trees in valleys grew faster & died more.
🌿 Some valley species thrived “at home,” but community-level support was mixed.
🌿 Even 22 m elevation differences = meaningful demographic shifts.

Marked tree demographic variation along subtle elevation differences partially explains species' habitat associations in an Amazonian forest
These findings show that even small differences in elevation can lead to biologically meaningful variation in resource access that translates into significant differences in tree growth and survival....

...What about the key processes behind species’ habitat associations (tree growth & mortality)? 🌱🌳
New paper by my MSc student tests “best-at-home” & “resident-advantage” hypotheses in ~80k trees (352 spp.) across valleys, slopes & ridges in #AmacayacuFDP and found that....
