Abstract:

Herbivory is one of the major ecosystem processes, as are pollination and seed dispersal, which drives ecological changes in both the phytophagous fauna and their host plant assemblages. The amount of herbivory damage on a host species represents not only the amount of herbivory pressure due to phytophagous insects but also the predatory pressure due to predators at higher trophic levels. Furthermore, additional interactions of climate and environmental factors determine the conditions of the host species and subsequently the assemblage of herbivorous insects that colonize them. All these dire

Abstract:

The tropical rainforests of the Peruvian Andes are some of the most biodiverse and most vulnerable to climate warming in the world. The Andes are predicted to experience substantial increases in warming of between +2 °C to +5 °C by the end of the century, in addition to an increases in the frequency of high temperature extremes, drought and flood events. The response of these forests to climate change over the next century has global relevance, due to the high levels of endemic species present and the potential role these areas will play as refugia for lowland species. Despite this, the respon

Abstract:

[EN] Climate change has occurred in Indonesia, for example, increasing the surface air temperature, including in the Upper Citarum watershed. This phenomenon leads to a lack of water in the dry season, which lowers agriculture production and remains a great obstacle for agricultural activity. Meanwhile, human activity has produced severe LULC changes within the Upper Citarum watershed. This occurs due to the demands of the ever-increasing population growth in the region. As a result, rice field and forested areas have been sacrificed to compensate the urban increment. The general objective of

Abstract:

Atmospheric aerosols affect climate directly by scattering and absorbing solar radiation, and indirectly by affecting the albedo and lifetime of clouds through their role as cloud condensation nuclei. Aerosol sources, and the processes that govern their evolution in the atmosphere are not well understood, making the aerosol effects a significant source of uncertainty in future climate predictions. The tropics experience a large solar flux meaning that any radiative forcing in this region is particularly important. Despite this, there is a paucity of data from the tropics, with the majority of

Abstract:

Climate change is predicted to increase the frequency, duration and severity of drought in many regions. Predicting how forest ecosystems will respond to increased drought is a key issue in forest planning and forest management. Invertebrates play a central role in forest health and diversity, yet our understanding of the impact of drought on invertebrate communities in forests is very poor. This PhD addresses the impacts of increased drought on herbivory-based insect communities in tropical rainforests. Most of our current knowledge on that topic consists of observations from around the world

Abstract:

Global climates are changing rapidly and biological responses are becoming increasingly apparent. Some models indicate that climate warming impacts will largely consist of latitudinal and altitudinal shifts in potential species' distributions while others suggest that the complete disappearance of critical climate types and dependent species are possible. While early investigations have focused on high latitudes where warming has been most pronounced, there is an increasing recognition of the need to understand impacts in biodiverse tropical regions that support many spatially and climatically

Abstract:

As climate change continues to threaten global biodiversity, knowledge of the fundamental processes influencing species' distributions is vital to determining their vulnerability. This thesis investigated the distributions of a diverse insect group, flightless ground beetles (Carabidae), in the tropical rainforests of Australia. Influences from abiotic (such as climatic) and biotic (such as lowland ant richness) factors were analysed in relation to this group and projections of future distributions, abundance and richness patterns determined under multiple climate change scenarios.

Abstract:

Knowledge of the mechanisms that dictate the composition and dynamics of ecosystems is essential for understanding the natural world. It is important to consolidate our understanding of ecosystem processes due to the need to understand and adapt to global anthropogenic climate change. The processes of decomposition and nutrient cycling that occur on the soil surface in forested environments both sustain ecosystems and have a substantial influence on the biosphere at many scales. This encapsulates the processes of plant litterfall, litter decomposition and nutrient release. Litter decomposition

Abstract:

Anthropogenic climate change is altering biological communities, ecosystems and their associated services. Understanding contemporary distribution and diversity patterns and accurately predicting biological responses to climate change is therefore necessary to help assess the nature of future changes and to mitigate associated negative impacts. Predicting responses to climate change is a particular challenge for invertebrates, for which distributions are often poorly known despite representing most of the Earth's species, and being especially sensitive to a changing climate. There is particula

Abstract:

The world's climate is expected to change profoundly and rapidly over the course of this century, and biologists have turned their attention towards predicting the effects that these changes are likely to have on living systems. This has invariably brought us back to fundamental ecological questions that remain unanswered for most taxa: how are species distributed in space and time? How is diversity distributed? What is the relationship between these patterns and climate, including extreme events? There is a particularly urgent need to answer these questions for tropical rainforest invertebrat

Abstract:

Anthropogenic climate change is a major threat to global biodiversity, threatening many ecosystems and taxa with extinction. An understanding of the factors influencing species distribution and diversity is vital for assessing their vulnerability to climate change. This is particularly the case for tropical rainforest insects that constitute the bulk of all known biodiversity, provide many ecosystem services, and yet, remain poorly studied. Dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) are a keystone insect taxon of great ecological and economical importance. Their feeding and nesting
