Seed survival and dispersal of an endemic Atlantic forest palm: the combined effects of defaunation and forest fragmentation
(Blackwell Publishing, 2006-05-01)
About 45 palm species occur in the Atlantic forest of Brazil, and most of them are affected by loss of seed dispersers resulting from forest fragmentation and hunting. Here we report the effects of habitat loss and defaunation ...

Seed removal by different functional mammal groups in a protected and grazed landscape of the Monte, Argentina
(Cambridge University Press, 2017-09)
Mammal species contribute in different ways to seed dispersal effectiveness, acting as endozoochorous dispersers, scatter-hoarders and seed predators. Seed removal by these functional mammal groups could be affected by ...
Seed dispersal and spatial distribution of Attalea geraensis (Arecaceae) in two remnants of Cerrado in Southeastern Brazil
(Elsevier B.V., 2007-09-01)
The seed dispersal system of Attalea geraensis (Arecaceae), an acaulescent palm, was investigated during one year in two Cerrado fragments in the state of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil. A. geraensis had inflorescences and ...

Hoarding patterns of sigmodontine rodents species in the Central Monte Desert (Argentina)
(Wiley, 2013-08)
Hoarding food is an important strategy of rodents in desert environments characterized by unpredict- able and poor food resource availability. In the Monte Desert, Prosopis produces abundant food, unevenly in time and ...
Management of protected areas and its effect on an ecosystem function: Removal of Prosopis flexuosa seeds by mammals in argentinian drylands
(Public Library of Science, 2016-09-21)
The ecological function of animal seed dispersal depends on species interactions and can be affected by drivers such as the management interventions applied to protected areas. This study was conducted in two protected ...
Fragmentation modifies seed trait effects on scatter-hoarders’ foraging decisions
(Springer, 2018-03-01)
Scatter-hoarding animals are crucial in seed dispersal of nut-bearing plants. We used the holm oak Quercus ilex—wood mouse Apodemus sylvaticus mutualism as a model system to evaluate the relative importance of seed size ...
