Intraspecific variation in biocontrol traits in Mastrus ridens (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) laboratory populations
(Springer, Nueva York (Estados Unidos), 2021-05)
Breeding natural enemies to generate populations with improved characteristics is an attractive idea, particularly nowadays with the increase in use of biological control and the availability of modern molecular and genetic ...
Trait-Based Assessments of Climate-Change Impacts on Interacting Species
(Elsevier Science London, 2020-01-24)
Plant–animal interactions are fundamentally important in ecosystems, but have often been ignored by studies of climate-change impacts on biodiversity. Here, we present a trait-based framework for predicting the responses ...
Comparing taxon- and trait-environment relationships in stream communities
(2020-10-01)
Traits define how organisms interact with their surrounding environment and with other organisms. Thus, trait composition of biological communities is expected to change predictably along environmental gradients. Because ...
Linking the hierarchical decisionmaking process of fruit choice and the phenotypic selection strength on fruit traits by birds
(Oxford University Press, 2017-08)
Aims: Animals in search of fleshy fruits forage mostly according to the number of available fruits and then select individual fruits based on reward quality or advertised subtle traits. This hierarchical pattern of fruit ...
Habitat fragmentation narrows the distribution of avian functional traits associated with seed dispersal in tropical forest
(2018-04-01)
Land-use change influences biodiversity in non-random ways, affecting some species and functional groups more than others, with potential implications for the loss or degradation of important ecological processes, such as ...
Dispersers shape fruit diversity in Ficus (Moraceae)
(National Academy of Sciences, 2010-08)
Seed dispersal by vertebrates is one of the most common and important plant-animal mutualisms, involving an enormous diversity of fruiting plants and frugivorous animals. Even though plant reproduction depends largely on ...
The evolution of dispersal traits based on diaspore features in South American populations of Senecio madagascariensis (Asteraceae)
(Csiro Publishing, 2019-08)
Plant invasion success is influenced by several driving factors such as the dispersal, environmental conditions and the species characteristics. In wind dispersed plants, the dispersal traits and the altitude are key for ...
Abundance predominates over niche factors as determinant of the frequency of interactions between frugivorous birds and plants
(2022-01-01)
Neutral and niche factors influence the structure of frugivory and seed dispersal networks. While the former refers to the abundance of interacting species, niche factors refer to traits that mediate interactions between ...
