A system of compensating phenological responses of different species to unusual rainfall conditions may play a major role in maintaining an orderly, staggered sequence of flowering peaks among the hummingbird-pollinated plants of a Costa Rican rain forest. Quantitative phenological studies over several years may be essential to understanding the temporal organization of many tropical communities.
一个补偿不同物种对异常降雨条件物候响应的系统,可能在维持哥斯达黎加雨林中由蜂鸟授粉的植物间有序、错开的开花高峰期序列方面发挥主要作用。多年的定量物候研究对于理解许多热带群落的时间组织可能至关重要。
