Seed dispersal is a key process in plant communities and frugivory is very important in
vertebrate communities. This paper updates a review of frugivory and seed dispersal by …

Primates are among the most important seed dispersers in the habitats they occupy.
Understanding the extent of, and gaps in, our knowledge of seed dispersal by Asian …

While large avian frugivores are known to be key dispersers for large‐seeded tree species,
their role in community‐wide plant‐disperser networks is still poorly known. Large avian …

I summarize the current knowledge of frugivory and seed dispersal by hornbills in tropical
forests. Many studies report on frugivory by hornbills but few specifically identify hornbills as …

Biotic seed dispersal of plants is a complex phenomenon that is influenced by multiple seed
disperser species with implications for plant fitness and range expansions. While inter …

Hornbills (family Bucerotidae) are important frugivores and seed dispersers of Asian tropical
forests. While much is known about the diets and their role as seed dispersers at the local or …

Castanopsis acuminatissima, Schima wallichii, Castanopsis armata, and Styrax benzoides.
Diameter classes for climax species frequently followed negative exponential distributions …

Large animals are disproportionately likely to go extinct, and the effects of this on ecosystem
processes are unclear. Megaherbivores (weighing over 1000 kg) are thought to be …

Background Secondary forests have become the major forest type worldwide. Research on
spatial patterns and associations of tree species at different developmental stages may be …

The patterns of vegetation recovery in shifting cultivation landscapes that undergo a cycle of
clearing, cultivation and forest regeneration are not well understood in Asian tropical forests …
