Fruit selection by Andean forest birds: influence of fruit functional traits and their temporal variation
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-09)
Fruit selection, i.e., the consumption of fruits disproportionately to their availability, results from the interaction between diet preferences and ecological factors that modify them. We assessed the importance of ...
Novel morphological and molecular data for Corynosoma hannae Zdzitowiecki, 1984 (Acanthocephala: Polymorphidae) from teleosts, fish-eating birds and pinnipeds from New Zealand
(Elsevier Ireland, 2017-02)
The polymorphid acanthocephalan, Corynosoma hannae Zdzitowiecki, 1984 is characterised on the basis of newly collected material from a New Zealand sea lion, Phocarctos hookeri (Gray), and long-nosed fur seal, Arctophoca ...
Effects of nutritional and anti-nutritional properties of seeds on the feeding ecology of seed-eating birds of the Monte desert, Argentina
(Cooper Ornithological Society, 2012-02)
Food quality and physiological capacities and limitations in recognizing and processing food are among the factors influencing the choices of desert birds in feeding. Seed-eating birds of the central Monte desert generally ...
Frugivory and habitat use by fruit-eating birds in a fragmented landscape of southeast Brazil
(Neotropical Ornithological Society, Usgs Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, 2014)
Scale-dependent spatial match between fruits and fruit-eating birds during the breeding season in Yungas Andean forests
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2015-11)
The multi-scale spatial match between bird and food abundances is a main driver of the structure of fruit-eating bird assemblages. We explored how the activity of fruit-eating birds was influenced by the abundance of fruits ...
Influência de modelos de expansão urbana na avifauna e nos processos ecológicos de consumo de frutos e controle top-down de artrópodes por aves
(Universidade Federal de São CarlosUFSCarPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Ecologia e Recursos Naturais - PPGERNCâmpus São Carlos, 2022-09-30)
Cityscapes are growing fast and heterogeneously through of diverse urban sprawl models. Urban sprawl models are defined as the specific patterns of the urban spaces’ growth. Since each model performs unique physical and ...
Effects of forest fragmentation, anthropogenic edges and fruit colour on the consumption of ornithocoric fruits
(Elsevier Sci LtdOxfordInglaterra, 2003)
How Important Are Arthropods in the Diet of Fruit-Eating Birds?
(Wilson Ornithological Society, 2017-09)
In most dietary studies of fruit-eating birds, sampling methods consist of direct observations of foraging and fecal sample analyses, and the consumption of resource types is measured as the percent of occurrence in diet ...
Taxonomic status of Ascocotyle (Phagicola) rara Arruda, Muniz-Pereira et Pinto, 2002 (Digenea: Heterophyidae)
(Institute of Parasitology Czechoslovak Academy, 2020)
Exploring food preferences and the limits of feeding flexibility of seed-eating desert birds
(Taylor & Francis, 2015-10)
Habitat degradation caused by cattle grazing may be a serious threat for seed-eating birds because the availability of beneficial seeds usually diminishes in grazed areas. Ecologically plastic species might, however, ...
