ECOLOGY:
Beta Diversity in Tropical Forests

J. F. Duivenvoorden, J.-C. Svenning, S. J. Wright

In their Perspective, Duivenvoorden and colleagues discuss an analysis of the similarity in species composition between different regions of Amazonian and Panamanian tropical forests (Condit et al.).

J. F. Duivenvoorden is at the Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics, Universiteit van Amsterdam, Post Office Box 94766, 1090 GT Amsterdam, Netherlands.
