The Influence of Microtopography and Soil Properties on the Distribution of the Speciose Genus of Trees, Inga (Fabaceae:Mimosoidea), in Ecuadorian Amazonia

In tropical forests, much of the plant diversity is due to a large number of congeneric taxa. It is unclear what ecological processes are responsible for the number and composition of co-occurring species in these forests. Here, we present strong evidence that microhabitat heterogeneity may contribu...
