The consequences of such removals on biotic assemblages in temperate forests remain poorly documented in comparison with boreal forests.
It is unclear how stressors, such as atmospheric N deposition (Vallano et al. 2012), suppression of fire (Arabas 2000; Safford and Harrison 2004) and climate change (Damschen et al. 2012; Anacker and Harrison 2012) documented for temperate and Mediterranean ultramafics, impact tropical Asia's ultramafic ecosystems.
There is an increasing understanding of Symbiodinium outside their hosts, documented from temperate waters of New Zealand [4], benthic sands in Hawaii [5], water column in China [6], and in coral reef sediments [7].
In addition, variability in the cycling schedules and receptivity of individual mares [14], and the performance of estrous behavior and copulatory activities during the non-breeding season [15] have been documented in temperate species.
Interactions mediated by extrafloral nectary (EFN -bearing plants that rEFN -bearingith a sweet liquid secretion are well documented in templants and thatical habitats.
The variations between the preponderant histologic patterns in children with Nephrotic Syndrome (NS) in the tropics and their response to therapy as distinct from those of the temperate countries were well documented in our setting several decades ago [ 1– 5].
Induction has been widely documented in temperate plants but has not been reported in tropical plants, where higher and more constant herbivore pressure would favour constitutive defences rather than induced defence (Bixenmann et al. 2011).
The high fidelity to a summer or winter range documented in temperate ungulates (e.g. [ 18]) or to a wet season range in a tropical ungulate (e.g. [ 47]) is considered to provide benefits related to familiarity with the location of resources, predators or conspecifics [ 53].
The negative effect of conspecific trees on seedling recruitment in temperate forests has been well documented at the population level for several common species.
Researchers say it is the first documented example of temperate bats operating a "flexible social system".
Influenza seasonality in the tropics is poorly understood and not as well documented as in temperate regions.
