This study finds that predictors of extinction risk for tropical forest mammals are consistent across spatial scales but vary with temporal extent, highlighting the need to account for time when applying macroecological findings to conservation.

Across 109,626 wood density records from 16,829 plant species (GWDD v.2), intraspecific variation explains 15% of global variance, tracks interspecific environmental gradients at 20-30% magnitude, and limits single-plant predictability.

The paper creates a high-resolution global map of wood density using species and vegetation data, showing improved accuracy and a wider density range than previous estimates.

The paper analyzes global tree crown architecture to identify factors driving diversity in height, crown size, and shape across species.
