Somatic mutation rates scale with time not growth rate in long-lived tropical trees.

The rates of appearance of new mutations play a central role in evolution. However, mutational processes in natural environments and their relationship with growth rates are largely unknown, particular in tropical ecosystems with high biodiversity. Here, we examined the somatic mutation landscapes of two tropical trees, (slow-growing) and (fast-growing), in central Borneo, Indonesia.

Comparing modeling methods of genomic prediction for growth traits of a tropical timber species, .

Introduction: is a commercially important tropical tree species grown for timber and oil. It is amenable to plantation forestry due to its fast initial growth. Genomic selection (GS) has been used in tree breeding studies to shorten long breeding cycles but has not previously been applied to .

Population Survey of Bornean White-Bearded Gibbon, Hylobates albibarbis,in Two Selective Logging Concessions in Central Kalimantan and West Kalimantan.

We surveyed Bornean white-bearded gibbon, Hylobates albibarbis, population densities in lowland and hill dipterocarp forests within the Sari Bumi Kusama and Suka Jaya Makmur logging concessions. These surveys were conducted from 20 to 30 March 2018 in Sari Bumi Kusuma areas and 14 to 24 April 2018 in Suka Jaya Makmur. We used a fixed-point count method to detect and plot morning song bouts of gibbon groups at systematically placed listening posts.
