The paper models climate impacts on 11 threatened tropical tree species in the Western Ghats, predicting range reductions or extinctions under future climate scenarios.

The paper examines phenological patterns of 50 tree species over 9 years in a tropical rainforest, finding that climate strongly influences leafing and flowering, while phylogeny affects fruiting timing.

The paper examines how invasive coffee affects herbivory on rainforest seedlings, finding no direct impact but a resource dilution effect from higher plant density and species-specific leaf traits.
