Seasonal and daily movement patterns of an alpine passerine suggest high flexibility in relation to environmental conditions
Mountains naturally offer variable habitat conditions, but their biodiversity is currently facing
the extra challenge of adapting to rapid environmental shifts that are much more …

Climb forest, climb: diverse disperser communities are key to assist plants tracking climate change on altitudinal gradients
Climate change is forcing species to shift their distribution ranges. Animal seed dispersers
might be particularly important in assisting plants tracking suitable climates to higher …

Shifts in the trophic ecology of feral cats in the alpine ecosystem of an oceanic island: implications for the conservation of native biodiversity
M Gómez-Alceste, JC Rando - Mammal Research, 2024 - Springer
Cats, introduced on thousands of islands worldwide, are one of the greatest threats to native
wildlife. An analysis of 301 scats was performed in order to study the diet of cats in a …

Animal‐mediated seed dispersal and the demo‐genetic configuration across plant colonization gradients
Ecologists have long recognized that seed dispersal mutualisms trigger natural regeneration
and range expansion of animal‐dispersed trees. Yet we lack empirical studies addressing …

Differential seed dispersal systems of endemic junipers in two oceanic Macaronesian archipelagos: the influence of biogeographic and biological characteristics
This article evaluates the seed dispersal systems of two congeneric and endemic fleshy-
fruited plants in the context of two relatively close oceanic archipelagos. For this purpose …

Phylogeography and genetic structure of the threatened Canarian Juniperus cedrus (Cupressaceae)
We used plastid sequences (trnL, trnL-trnF, petN-psbM and trnT-trnL) to infer the
phylogenetic relationships and inter-island connections of the Canarian Juniperus cedrus …

Identifying avian seed dispersers through DNA barcoding after rapid field sampling
Avian seed dispersers are mostly identified by direct observations of fruit consumption or by
analysis of seeds ejected by mist-netted birds. However, these methods typically require …

Newly Discovered Seed Dispersal System of Juniperus cedrus Questions the Pristine Nature of the High Elevation Scrub of El Teide (Tenerife, Canary Islands)
As a working hypothesis, we examined evidence for the former presence of a climacic
woodland of Juniperus cedrus above the pine forest in the high elevation area of Tenerife …
