Reorganization of bird communities along a rainforest elevation gradient during a strong El Nino event in Papua New Guinea

This study examines changes in bird communities along an elevation gradient during a strong El Nino event in Papua New Guinea, finding shifts in abundance and range limits.

Vertebrates but not ants protect rainforest trees from herbivorous insects along an elevational gradient in Papua New Guinea

The paper examines the impact of vertebrate predators and ants on herbivory in rainforest trees across elevational gradients in Papua New Guinea, finding that vertebrates significantly reduce herbivory while ants have limited effects.

Population genomics of the island thrush elucidates one of earth's great archipelagic radiations

This study uses genome-wide SNP data to reconstruct the phylogeny and population history of the island thrush, revealing its explosive radiation across the Indo-Pacific from migratory ancestors.

Biomass, abundances, and abundance and geographical range size relationship of birds along a rainforest elevational gradient in Papua New Guinea

The paper examines how bird abundance and geographical range size relate along an elevational gradient in Papua New Guinea, finding a positive relationship in lowlands and a negative trend at higher elevations.
