Seed dispersal is a fundamental process that is highly threatened by the rapid decline of
large‐bodied frugivores worldwide. The Brazilian Cerrado, the largest savanna in the world …

Movement patterns of frugivorous birds may be altered in anthropogenically fragmented
landscapes, with possible consequences for seed dispersal and plant recruitment. We …

We recorded interactions between frugivorous birds and plants in the Cerrado and we
assessed the role and importance of birds as potential seed dispersers. We analyzed the …

The avian guild that consumes Miconia albicans (Melastomataceae) fruits and its

This study examined the effects of framework trees, planted in 1998, and bird community on
the natural recruitment of tree seedling species in a forest restoration experiment designed …

As aves figuram entre os mais importantes dispersores de sementes em praticamente todos

A propagação de plantas pela dispersão de sementes é reconhecida como um dos fatores
fundamentais que afetam o recrutamento das plantas e é um importante passo do ciclo …

Although Curatella americana, a typical species from the Cerrado, produces fruits with
ornithochoric characteristics, there are no reports in the literature suggesting that it serves as …

High rates of seed removal can impede forest recovery, but tropical seed removal studies
are few and mainly from the neotropics. Little is known about the comparative influences of …

In this study, we report four novel instances of frugivory by woodpeckers, specifically the
green-barred woodpecker (Colaptes melanochloros), campo flicker (Colaptes campestris) …
