Large vertebrates are important elements of mutualistic interactions and provide positive impacts on plant population and community dynamics. Despite the increasing interest on vertebrate frugivory we are still not able ...

Seed dispersal benefits plants and frugivores, and potentially drives co-evolution, with consequences to diversification evidenced for, e.g., primates. Evidence for macro-coevolutionary patterns in multi-specific, plant-animal ...

Animal-plant interactions are threatened by ongoing climate change, deforestation, and defaunation. The disruption of biotic interactions leads to loss of ecosystem services but estimates of the magnitude of reductions are ...

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, ...

One of the most intriguing questions in ecology is how to identify which and how many species will be able to inhabit human-modified landscapes. Large-bodied mammals structure plant communities by trampling, herbivory, ...

The mutualism among fleshy fruits and fruit-eating vertebrates largely influence tropical forests functioning and dynamics, and promotes fundamental evolutionary and ecological consequences. During food handling, frugivores ...

El presente trabajo busca identificar las relaciones que entablan las personas de la comunidad del Carare con las demás especies de primates no-humanos que coexisten con esta, a partir del trabajo de campo llevado a cabo ...
