Species Diversity of Three Faunal Communities Along a Successional Cloud Forest Gradient,in the forests. Faunal response to succession was taxon-specific, but generally defined by the replacement of generalist by specialist species. Following 23 years of succession, a composition similar to that of the reference forest had not yet been re-established, demonstrating the great importance of protecting mature and secondary forests.

Socioecological Gradients: Contesting Traditional Ecoclines to Explain the High Biocultural Diversinscape. With the wise trend of . (Wilson 1998) and the untested hype of noetic science (Nickell 2010), we contribute this chapter with the objective of increasing our epistemology of mountains to include them as socioecological landscapes and not as mere ecosystems.
