摘要: A tropical rainforest canopy is arguably the most complex and poorly known ecosystem in world. Basic description of intricate trophic webs plant/herbivore/predator assemblages such canopies represent still-nascent stages. Here we apply contrasting approaches extant current literature to probe for first time insect community structure one Amazonian canopy.
