Human activities have altered the abundance and distribution of animals, resha**
ecosystems into novel and generally more depauperate configurations. Whereas …

Large herbivores can have substantial effects on carbon (C) cycling, yet these animals are
often overlooked in C budgets. Zoogeochemical effects may be particularly important in …

Humans have fragmented, reduced or altered the biodiversity in tropical forests around the
world. Climate and land‐use change act synergistically, increasing drought and fire …

Tropical rainforests are populated by large frugivores that feed upon fruit‐producing woody
species, yet their role in regulating the cycle of globally important biogeochemical elements …

Abstract The Atlantic Forest of South America hosts one of the world's most diverse and
threatened tropical forest biota. After five centuries of European human expansion, most …

The world's terrestrial biomes are broadly classified according to the dominant plant growth
forms that define ecosystem structure and processes. Although the abundance and …

Large terrestrial herbivorous mammals (LTH‐mammals) influence plant community structure
by affecting seedling establishment in mature tropical forests. Many of these LTH‐mammals …

The urgent need to mitigate and adapt to climate change necessitates a comprehensive
understanding of carbon cycling dynamics. Traditionally, global carbon cycle models have …

Mutualistic and antagonistic plant–animal interactions differentially contribute to the
maintenance of species diversity in ecological communities. Although both seed dispersal …

The UN declaration of the Decade of Ecosystem Restoration 2021–2030 emphasizes the
need for effective measures to restore ecosystems and safeguard biodiversity. Large …
