Observations on the limited potential for acclimation to high light in leaves of seedlings of rainforest trees are discussed in relation to regeneration following formation of gaps in the canopy.
Colonization of a dynamic substrate: factors influencing recruitment of the wood-boring isopod, Sphaeroma terebrans, onto red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle) prop roots.
The results of experimental manipulation using natural root substratum are the first to identify physical setting as an important feature of habitat suitability for S. terebrans.
