Pleistocene megafaunal extinctions and the functional loss of long-distance seed-dispersal services
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2018-01-01)
Pleistocene extinctions affected mainly large-bodied animals, determining the loss or changes in numerous ecological functions. Evidence points to a central role of many extinct megafauna herbivores as seed dispersers. An ...
Long-term consistency in spatial patterns of primate seed dispersal
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2017-03-01)
Seed dispersal is a key ecological process in tropical forests, with effects on various levels ranging from plant reproductive success to the carbon storage potential of tropical rainforests. On a local and landscape scale, ...
Frugivory and seed dispersal by tapirs: an insight on their ecological role
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-03-01)
Tapirs are one of the last extant megafauna species that survived the Pleistocene extinctions. Given their size and digestive system characteristics, tapirs might be the last potential seed disperser of plant species that ...
Frugivory and seed dispersal by tapirs: an insight on their ecological role
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014)
Fruit traits of pioneer trees structure seed dispersal across distances on tropical deforested landscapes: Implications for restoration
(2020-01-01)
Pioneer trees with fleshy fruits are typically planted in restoration projects to attract frugivores as a mean to increase dispersal and accelerate forest regeneration. However, differences in fruit traits of pioneer trees ...
Around the world in eight million years: Historical biogeography and evolution of the spray zone spider Amaurobioides (Araneae: Anyphaenidae)
(Public Library of Science, 2016-10)
Closely related organisms with transoceanic distributions have long been the focus of historical biogeography, prompting the question of whether long-distance dispersal, or tectonic-driven vicariance shaped their current ...
Unexpected absence of island endemics: long distance dispersal in higher latitude sub Antarctic Siphonaria (Gastropoda: Euthyneura) species
(Wiley, 2018)
Aim: We assess biogeographical patterns, population structure and the range of species in the pulmonate genus Siphonaria across the sub-Antarctic. We hypothesized that locally endemic cryptic species will be found across ...
