Interaction dynamics of avian frugivores and plants in a Chilean Mediterranean shrubland
(Elsevier, 2011)
Studies of plant-frugivore interactions are important for identifying the roles that biotic seed vectors play
in seed dispersal, and ultimately plant recruitment. In a subandean shrubland of central Chile, 50% of
total ...
Non-sequential fruit tracking by birds along an altitudinal gradient
(Gauthier-villars/editions ElsevierParisFrança, 2012)
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 ...
Fruit resource provisioning for avian frugivores: The overlooked side of effectiveness in seed dispersal mutualisms
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020-07-01)
Mutualistic interactions between frugivorous birds and fleshy-fruited plants are key processes for both natural plant regeneration and the maintenance of birds relying on fruit resources. However, seed dispersal effectiveness ...
Using artificial fruits to evaluate fruit selection by birds in the field
(Assoc Tropical Biology IncLawrenceEUA, 2001)
Frugivore diversity increases evenness in the seed rain on deforested tropical landscapes
(2022-02-01)
The diversity of tropical forests is strongly shaped by mutualistic interactions involving plants and frugivores that disperse their seeds. However, it is little known how decreases in the diversity of frugivores can affect ...
Effects of palm heart harvesting on avian frugivores in the Atlantic rain forest of Brazil
(Blackwell Science Ltd, 1998-04-01)
1, It has been suggested that palm fruits are keystone resources for frugivores in tropical rain forests, but no study has addressed this hypothesis. The effects of the harvesting of a dominant palm tree Euterpe edulis ...
Movement Patterns Of Frugivorous Birds Promote Functional Connectivity Among Chaco Serrano Woodland Fragments In Argentina
(WILEY-BLACKWELLHOBOKEN, 2015)
Local extinctions of obligate frugivores and patch size reduction disrupt the structure of seed dispersal networks
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2018-11-01)
A central problem in ecology is to understand how human impacts affect plant-animal interactions that lead to effective seed dispersal services for plant communities. Seed dispersal services are the outcome of plant-frugivore ...
