Phylogenetic impoverishment of Amazonian tree communities in an experimentally fragmented forest landscape.

Amazonian rainforests sustain some of the richest tree communities on Earth, but their ecological and evolutionary responses to human threats remain poorly known. We used one of the largest experimental datasets currently available on tree dynamics in fragmented tropical forests and a recent phyloge...
