From earthquakes to island area: multi‐scale effects upon local diversity.
Tropical forests occupy small coral atolls to the vast Amazon basin. They occur across bioregions with different geological and climatic history. Differences in area and bioregional history shape species immigration, extinction and diversification. How this effects local diversity is unclear. The Indonesian archipelago hosts thousands of tree species whose coexistence... -

A new species of Lasjia (Proteaceae) from Sulawesi: Lasjia griseifolia Utteridge & Brambach.
Utteridge & Brambach, a member of the Proteaceae, is described and illustrated as a new species from the Indonesian island of Sulawesi. The new species is similar to , also from Sulawesi, and morphological differences between the taxa are discussed; a line illustration and detailed notes on the conservation status... -

Genomic insights into rapid speciation within the world’s largest tree genus Syzygium.
Species radiations, despite immense phenotypic variation, can be difficult to resolve phylogenetically when genetic change poorly matches the rapidity of diversification. Genomic potential furnished by palaeopolyploidy, and relative roles for adaptation, random drift and hybridisation in the apportionment of genetic variation, remain poorly understood factors. Here, we study these aspects...Low, Yee Wen ; Rajaraman, Sitaram ; Tomlin, Crystal M. ; Ahmad, Joffre Ali ; Ardi, Wisnu H. …

Metal‐rich soils increase tropical tree stoichiometric distinctiveness
Background and aims Ultramafic soils have high metal concentrations, offering a key opportunity to understand if such metals are strong predictors of leaf stoichiometry. This is particularly relevant for tropical forests where large knowledge gaps exist. Methods On the tropical island of Sulawesi, Indonesia, we sampled forests on sand, limestone,... -

Floristics of forests across low nutrient soils in Sulawesi, Indonesia.
The island of Sulawesi formed from the joining of proto‐islands roughly three million years ago. Regions of zoological endemism, corresponding to the proto‐islands, have been reported. Sulawesi's tree communities, however, remain poorly documented. In better‐studied tropical regions, soil types similar to those found in Sulawesi often have distinctive tree communities.... -

Phytogeography and the stoichiometric niche: exploring their interplay in Sulawesi
The Indonesian island of Sulawesi is comprised of a mosaic of soil types including the largest ultramafic outcrops in the tropics (ultramafic soils are macronutrient low and phytotoxic heavy metal rich). The island’s ontogeny is also distinctive, whereby it has formed only recently < 2 million years ago via agglomeration...Trethowan, Liam A.

Opportunities and challenges for an Indonesian forest monitoring network
Permanent sampling plots (PSPs) are a powerful and reliable methodology to help our understanding of the diversity and dynamics of tropical forests. Based on the current inventory of PSPs in Indonesia, there is high potential to establish a long-term collaborative forest monitoring network. Whilst there are challenges to initiating such...Brearley, Francis Q. ; Adinugroho, Wahyu C. ; Cámara-Leret, Rodrigo ; Krisnawati, Haruni ; Ledo, Alicia …
