Supplemental Information

Naturally colonizing species sampled

Table S1 - Naturally colonizing species sampled. Habit codes S, U, M and T are free-standing, species with maximum heights of 5, 10, 20 and > 30 m, respectively. These species are found in the old-growth forest of Barro Colorado Island, Panama. Most habits and dispersal syndromes come from databases provided by Joe Wright and published in Wright, 2007 ; Wright et al., 2007 ; Wright et al., 2010 . Other sources noted. Species names with an (*) means that those species were observed at frequencies of five stems or more.

Newick File

Newick file of species of understory natural recruits and overstory species. Species names are coded using the APG3 six-letters coding system, which is the first four letters of the genus plus the first two letters of the species (see Table S1 for reference).
