- Abstract:
- This project will investigate the mechanisms that determine differences in the spatial pattern and relative abundance of closely related tropical trees on small spatial scales. We will test the hypothesis that coexisting Shorea species with an aggregated pattern of adult distribution show reduced seed production or increased mortality of seeds or seedlings outside high density patches, while species with a random or over-dispersed distribution of adults show reduced fecundity in high density patches, or density/distance-dependant mortality of seeds or young seedlings.
