Abstract	Neoblechnum brasiliense (Blechnaceae) is common and widespread in South America but has been known from Mesoamerica by only one collection from Guatemala by Julian Steyermark in 1939. We discovered two new occurrences of the species, in Belize and Mexico, extending the range of the species over 1000 km north and west into northern Mesoamerica. We discuss possible explanations for the rarity of the species in Mesoamerica and its disjunction from South America.

Abstract	Spathelia L. as currently circumscribed is endemic to the western portion of the West Indies, and contains nine species, one endemic to the Bahamas, three endemic to Jamaica and five endemic to Cuba. The discovery of a new species in Belize brings the total number of species in Spathelia to ten and expands its known distribution beyond the West Indies. Spatheliabelizensissp. nov. is herein described, illustrated and contrasted to its most morphologically similar congener. A key to the species of Spathelia is provided.

Abstract	The biomass and dynamics of disturbed and degraded tropical forests have mostly been ignored in the recent scientific literature, partly because of a spotlight on old‐growth forests but also due to a lack of long‐term data from degraded forests. There is a pressing need to understand the rates and patterns of growth, mortality and recruitment in degraded forests, not only because they are increasing in area relative to old‐growth forests, but also due to their potential capacity to sequester large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This paper introduces a permanent forest plot network and database, FORMNET‐B (GIVD ID# NA‐BZ‐001), designed to study the long‐term dynamics of disturbed and degraded tropical forests in Belize, Central America.

Article: Small rodents as significant dispersers of tree seeds in a Neotropical forest

Brewer, Steven W / Rejmánek, Marcel

Abstract	Through seed dispersal and predation, terrestrial mammals should be an important component of the mechanisms that determine patterns of tree recruitment in tropical forests. Despite their great abundance and ubiquity in Neotropical forests, small rodents as seed predators and dispersers remain largely forgotten. To investigate the fates of seeds in a hunted primary forest in Belize, we tagged seeds of Astrocaryum mexicanum (Palmae), Ampelocera hottlei (Ulmaceae), and Pouteria sapota (Sapotaceae) and placed them into open plots, exclosures accessible only to small mammals, and exclosures accessible to medium‐sized and small mammals. The exclosure experiments and fates of the seeds show that the spiny pocket mouse, Heteromys desmarestianus (Heteromyidae), was the dominant handler of seeds of the first two species and also removed a significant proportion of the very large‐seeded Pouteria. Most of the seeds were killed immediately upon removal, but many of the seeds (3–18 %) of the first two species were scatterhoarded (dispersed and buried in the soil) by Heteromys. Some of the scatterhoarded seeds (29%) remain buried and therefore protected from predation by other animals. Agoutis (Dasyprocta punctata), a caviomorph rodent, buried 13 % of the seeds of Pouteria, and Heteromys consumed and dispersed but did not bury Pouteria seeds. Results of this study support predictions by some researchers that small rodents are dominant terrestrial granivores in Neotropical forests. The role of small rodents as seed dispersers, however, has never been fully appreciated.

Abstract	Tropical forests are the most diverse and productive ecosystems on Earth. While better understanding of these forests is critical for our collective future, until quite recently efforts to measure and monitor them have been largely disconnected. Networking is essential to discover the answers to questions that transcend borders and the horizons of funding agencies. Here we show how a global community is responding to the challenges of tropical ecosystem research with diverse teams measuring forests tree-by-tree in thousands of long-term plots. We review the major scientific discoveries of this work and show how this process is changing tropical forest science. Our core approach involves linking long-term grassroots initiatives with standardized protocols and data management to generate robust scaled-up results. By connecting tropical researchers and elevating their status, our Social Research Network model recognises the key role of the data originator in scientific discovery. Conceived in 1999 with RAINFOR (South America), our permanent plot networks have been adapted to Africa (AfriTRON) and Southeast Asia (T-FORCES) and widely emulated worldwide. Now these multiple initiatives are integrated via ForestPlots.net cyber-infrastructure, linking colleagues from 54 countries across 24 plot networks. Collectively these are transforming understanding of tropical forests and their biospheric role. Together we have discovered how, where and why forest carbon and biodiversity are responding to climate change, and how they feedback on it. This long-term pan-tropical collaboration has revealed a large long-term carbon sink and its trends, as well as making clear which drivers are most important, which forest processes are affected, where they are changing, what the lags are, and the likely future responses of tropical forests as the climate continues to change. By leveraging a remarkably old technology, plot networks are sparking a very modern revolution in tropical forest science. In the future, humanity can benefit ...

Abstract	AIM: Palms are an iconic, diverse and often abundant component of tropical ecosystems that provide many ecosystem services. Being monocots, tree palms are evolutionarily, morphologically and physiologically distinct from other trees, and these differences have important consequences for ecosystem services (e.g., carbon sequestration and storage) and in terms of responses to climate change. We quantified global patterns of tree palm relative abundance to help improve understanding of tropical forests and reduce uncertainty about these ecosystems under climate change. LOCATION: Tropical and subtropical moist forests. TIME PERIOD: Current. MAJOR TAXA STUDIED: Palms (Arecaceae). METHODS: We assembled a pantropical dataset of 2,548 forest plots (covering 1,191 ha) and quantified tree palm (i.e., ≥10 cm diameter at breast height) abundance relative to co‐occurring non‐palm trees. We compared the relative abundance of tree palms across biogeographical realms and tested for associations with palaeoclimate stability, current climate, edaphic conditions and metrics of forest structure. RESULTS: On average, the relative abundance of tree palms was more than five times larger between Neotropical locations and other biogeographical realms. Tree palms were absent in most locations outside the Neotropics but present in >80% of Neotropical locations. The relative abundance of tree palms was more strongly associated with local conditions (e.g., higher mean annual precipitation, lower soil fertility, shallower water table and lower plot mean wood density) than metrics of long‐term climate stability. Life‐form diversity also influenced the patterns; palm assemblages outside the Neotropics comprise many non‐tree (e.g., climbing) palms. Finally, we show that tree palms can influence estimates of above‐ground biomass, but the magnitude and direction of the effect require additional work. CONCLUSIONS: Tree palms are not only quintessentially tropical, but they are also overwhelmingly Neotropical. Future work to understand the contributions of tree palms to biomass estimates and carbon cycling will be particularly crucial in Neotropical forests.
