The work discussed has implications for tropical biology, ecology, and pollination studies. The power of the El Nino-Southern Oscillation events and drought, particularly in their effects on mutualisms, are discussed in detail."--Jacket Bibliography Includes bibliographical references In Springer e-books Subject Rain forest ecology -- Malaysia -- Sarawak Pollination -- Malaysia -- Sarawak NATURE -- Plants -- Trees.
