Dispersion of seeds at night and day in sub-Andean forests, Cueva Los Guacharos Park, Colombia
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2023)
Benefits to the germination of seeds provided by birds that mandibulate fleshy fruits
(Gauthier-Villars/Editions Elsevier, 2021-08)
The effect of fruit removal and passage through the digestive tract of frugivorous birds on seed germination has been mostly studied in species that swallow the whole fruit without mandibulating (“gulpers”), and defecate ...
Functional equivalence in seed dispersal effectiveness of Podocarpus parlatorei in Andean frui -eating bird assemblages
(Frontiers Media S. A, 2017-06-09)
Most fleshy-fruited plants establish strong local interactions with a few fruit-eating species across their distribution range, which can differ among sites and have a major impact for the plant population dynamics. In ...
Frugivory and seed dispersal role of the Yellow-striped Brush-Finch (Atlapetes citrinellus), an endemic emberizid of Argentina
(Csiro Publishing, 2014)
The stability and dynamics of multispecies interactions often rely on a small core of species. We examine whether the Yellow-striped Brush-Finch (Atlapetes citrinellus), the only species of bird endemic to the Argentinean ...
The role of trait combination in the conspicuousness of fruit display among bird-dispersed plants
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-09)
In visually driven seed dispersal mutualisms, natural selection should promote plant strategies that maximize fruit visibility to dispersers. Plants might increase seed dispersal profitability by increasing conspicuousness ...
Are small abandoned plantations a threat for protected areas in Andean forests? The potential invasion of non-native cultivated species
(Gauthier-Villars/Editions Elsevier, 2019-02)
Abandoned farms with small fruit plantations of the non-native species Prunus cerasus and Malus domestica are common in protected areas of the temperate forests of southern South America (TFSA), in Patagonia. Our aims were ...
Leaf litter hides post-dispersed seeds from invasive alien removers in a sclerophyll forest in central Chile
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria, España, 2020)
Aim of study: Seed removal may be a determining filter for regeneration. Factors such as leaf litter, tree cover and seed density affect seed removal. This aims to assess three aspects involving on post dispersal seed ...
Endozoochory decreases environmental filtering imposed to seedlings
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2012-08)
Questions: Recruitment microsites are imposed on plants, first by seed dispersal and then by the environment. Different seed dispersal vectors could decrease or increase the environmental filtering imposed on seedlings, ...
