Research Projects
Taking full advantage of this dynamic model system of forest fragmentation, the following research projects have been implemented:
• Integrate fundamental principles of island biogeography, trophic omnivory, and food-web complexity toward a mechanistic understanding of food-web dynamics.
Quantify the effects of fragment size on bird densities, abundance and pollination webs
• Estimate forest productivity, composition and structure using Light Detection And Ranging remote sensing technology (LiDAR).
• Create educational opportunities in community and ecosystems ecology for university undergraduate students, graduate students, and post-doctoral fellows.
