▪ Abstract In this review, we discuss the ecological and evolutionary consequences of plant-
herbivore interactions in tropical forests. We note first that herbivory rates are higher in …

The pulp of fleshy fruits, with the soft, edible, nutritive tissues surrounding the seeds, is a
primary food resource for many frugivorous animals, notably mammals and birds, but also …

Phenology affects nearly all aspects of ecology and evolution. Virtually all biological
phenomena—from individual physiology to interspecific relationships to global nutrient …

For most mammals, including nonhuman primates, diet composition varies temporally in
response to differences in food availability. Because diet influences gut microbiota …

▪ Abstract For many years biologists have debated whether mast seeding (the synchronous
intermittent production of large seed crops in perennial plants) results from weather …

Forecasting how species and ecosystems will respond to climate change has been a major
aim of ecology in recent years. Much of this research has focused on phenology–the timing …

The amount and spatial distribution of forest biomass in the Amazon basin is a major source
of uncertainty in estimating the flux of carbon released from land‐cover and land‐use …

Climate change is shifting species' distribution and phenology. Ecological traits, such as
mobility or reproductive mode, explain variation in observed rates of shift for some taxa …

Patterns in the dominance of evergreen vs. deciduous plants have long interested
ecologists, biogeographers, and global modellers. But previous models to account for these …

This paper describes the phenology of leaf, flower, and fruit phenology in the Atlantic rain
forests of southeastern Brazil. For 17 months, we observed the phenological patterns of …
