There is growing realization that intraspecific variation in seed dispersal can have important
ecological and evolutionary consequences. However, we do not have a good understanding …

Body mass and geographical range are two main drivers of diet in animals, yet how these
factors influence diet in the morphologically and ecologically diverse avian group of …

Negative density dependence (NDD) in biotic interactions of interference such as plant–
plant competition, granivory and herbivory are well-documented mechanisms that promote …

The extent of specialization/generalization continuum in fruit–frugivore interactions at the
individual level remains poorly explored. Here, we investigated the interactions between the …

Several hypotheses explain how sensory, anatomical and physiological constraints drive
fruit preference in frugivores. Optimal diet theory (ODT) states that frugivores make decisions …

While plant–animal interactions occur fundamentally at the individual level, the bulk of
research examining the mechanisms that drive interaction patterns has focused on species …

In seed-dispersal mutualisms, the number of fruit a plant displays is a key trait, as it acts as a
signal for seed dispersers that entails fruit removal and exportation of reproductive units (fruit …

Urbanization is currently one of the trademarks of the Anthropocene, accelerating
evolutionary processes and resha** ecological interactions over short time scales …

According to diet‐regulation hypotheses, animals select food to regulate the intake of
macronutrients or maximise energy feeding efficiency. Specifically, the nutrient balance …

In visually driven seed dispersal mutualisms, natural selection should promote plant
strategies that maximize fruit visibility to dispersers. Plants might increase seed dispersal …
