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 …

Regenerated forests now compose over half of the world's tropical forest cover and are
increasingly important as providers of ecosystem services, freshwater, and biodiversity …

This chapter summarizes research on seed dispersal vectors (water, wind and animals), and
the factors (including seed size and chemical composition, and plant habit) that determine …

Dromiciops gliroides is an arboreal marsupial found in the temperate forests of South
America (36–43° S). This species is the sole extant representative of the order …

The biotic and abiotic context of individual plants within animal‐pollinated plant populations
can influence pollinator foraging behaviour. Pollinator movements regulate pollen flow …

Seed dispersal at large scales strongly influences plant population dynamics. Still,
ecologists have rarely measured seed dispersal at relevant scales, and the role of habitat …

Negative density dependence (NDD) of recruitment is pervasive in tropical tree species. We
tested the hypotheses that seed dispersal is NDD, due to intraspecific competition for …

Climate change is triggering ecological responses all over the world as a result of frequent,
prolonged droughts. It could also affect ecological interactions, particularly pollination and …

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

Modelling seed dispersal by animals seems straightforward; we need a way to keep track of
the position on the animal through time and a clock for how long seeds travel with it …
