Foreword Preface Part I. Arthropods of Tropical Canopies: Current Themes of Research: 1. Canopy entomology, an expanding field of natural science 2. Methodological advances and limitations in canopy entomology 3. Vertical stratification of arthropod assemblages 4. Determinants of temporal variation in community structure 5. Herbivore assemblages and their food resources Part II. Vertical Stratification in Tropical Forests: 6. Distribution of ants and bark-beetles in crowns of tropical oaks 7. Vertical and temporal diversity of a species-rich moth taxon in Borneo 8. Canopy foliage structure and flight density of butterflies and birds in Sarawak 9. Stratification of the spider fauna in a Tanzanian forest 10. Fauna of suspended soils in an Ongokea gore tree in Gabon 11. Vertical stratification of flying insects in a Surinam lowland rainforest Part III. Temporal Patterns in Tropical Canopies: 12. Insect responses to general flowering in Sarawak 13. Arthropod assemblages across a long chronosequence in the Hawaiian islands 14. Seasonality of canopy beetles in Uganda 15. Seasonality and community composition of springtails in Mexican forests 16. Seasonal variation of canopy arthropods in Central Amazon 17. Arthropod seasonality in tree crowns with different epiphyte loads Part IV. Resource Use and Host Specificity in Tropical Canopies: 18. How do beetle assemblages respond to anthropogenic disturbance? 19. Organization of arthropod assemblages in African savanna trees 20. Flower ecology in the Neotropics: a flower-ant love-hate relationship 21. Taxonomic composition and host specificity of phytophagous beetles in a dry forest in Panama 22. Microhabit distribution of forest grasshoppers in the Amazon 23. Flowering events and beetle diversity in Venezuela Part V. Synthesis: Spatio-Temporal Dynamics and Resource Use in Tropical Canopies: 24. Habitat use and stratification of Collembola and oribatid mites 25. Insect herbivores feeding on conspecific seedlings and trees 26. Hallowed hideaways: basal mites in tree hollows and allied habitats 27. Arthropod diel activity and stratification 28. Diel, seasonal and disturbance-induced variation in invertebrate assemblages 29. Tree relatedness and the similarity of insect assemblages: pushing the limits? 30. A review of mosaics of dominant ants in rainforests and plantations 31. Insect herbivores in the canopies of savannas and rainforests 32. Canopy flowers and certainty: loose niches revisited 33. How polyphagous are Costa Rican dry forest saturniid caterpillars? 34. Influences of forest management on insects 35. Conclusion: arthropods, canopies and interpretable patterns Part VI.
