Avian Island Radiations Shed Light on the Dynamics of Adaptive and Nonadaptive Radiation
Understanding the mechanisms underlying species formation and differentiation is a central
goal of evolutionary biology and a formidable challenge. This understanding can provide …

A Review on the State of the Art in Frugivory and Seed Dispersal on Islands and the Implications of Global Change
We provide an overview of the current state of knowledge of island frugivory and seed
dispersal and identify knowledge gaps that are important for fundamental research on—and …

Common seed dispersers contribute most to the persistence of a fleshy-fruited tree
Mutualistic interactions are by definition beneficial for each contributing partner. However, it
is insufficiently understood how mutualistic interactions influence partners throughout their …

Changing bird migration patterns have potential to enhance dispersal of alien plants from urban centres
There is increasing recognition that alien species may be 'sleepers', becoming invasive with
favourable changes in conditions, yet these changes remain difficult to predict. As …

Reciprocity and interaction effectiveness in generalised mutualisms among free‐living species
Mutualistic interactions among free‐living species generally involve low‐frequency
interactions and highly asymmetric dependence among partners, yet our understanding of …

Trait matching and sampling effort shape the structure of the frugivory network in Afrotropical forests
C Durand‐Bessart, NJ Cordeiro, CA Chapman… - New …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Frugivory in tropical forests is a major ecological process as most tree species rely on
frugivores to disperse their seeds. However, the underlying mechanisms driving frugivore …

Beyond the Bites: Rethinking seed-dispersal networks in plant-frugivore studies
W Dáttilo - Food Webs, 2024 - Elsevier
In recent years, the use of ecological networks to understand the roles of species in plant-
frugivore relationships and their evolutionary significance has increased significantly …

Individual behaviour shapes patterns of bird‐mediated seed dispersal
Seed dispersal is a key component in a plant's life cycle, allowing the colonization of new
habitat and eventually enabling range shifts. For animal‐dispersed plants, the behaviour of …
