Seed dispersal effectiveness revisited: a conceptual review
Growth in seed dispersal studies has been fast‐paced since the seed disperser
effectiveness (SDE) framework was developed 17 yr ago. Thus, the time is ripe to revisit the …

Frugivory and seed dispersal by lizards: a global review
Birds and mammals are the only vertebrates which receive comprehensive attention in
studies of dispersal of fleshy-fruited plant species. However, recently the importance of …

[PDF][PDF] Mutualisms with the wreckage of an avifauna: the status of bird pollination and fruit-dispersal in New Zealand
Worldwide declines in bird numbers have recently renewed interest in how well bird–plant
mutualisms are functioning. In New Zealand, it has been argued that bird pollination was …

Phylogenetic analysis informed by geological history supports multiple, sequential invasions of the Mediterranean Basin by the angiosperm family Araceae
Despite the remarkable species richness of the Mediterranean flora and its well-known
geological history, few studies have investigated its temporal and spatial origins. Most …

Density-impact functions for invasive house mouse (Mus musculus) effects on indigenous lizards and invertebrates
House mice are among the most widely distributed mammals in the world, and adversely
affect a wide range of indigenous biota. Suppressing mouse populations, however, is …

Seed dispersal systems in the New Zealand flora
MJ Thorsen, KJM Dickinson, PJ Seddon - Perspectives in Plant Ecology …, 2009 - Elsevier
Knowledge of the dispersal mechanisms used by plants is important in phylogenetic,
ecological, biogeographical, and conservation studies. Here we attempt to assign dispersal …

Long-term demographic consequences of a seed dispersal disruption
The loss or decline of vertebrate frugivores can limit the regeneration of plants that depend
on them. However, empirical evidence is showing that this is still very scarce, as functionally …

Alpine flora may depend on declining frugivorous parrot for seed dispersal
Globally, bird numbers are declining, with potentially serious flow-on effects on ecosystem
processes, such as seed dispersal mutualisms. However, management to maintain seed …

The importance of lizards as frugivores and seed dispersers.
Despite the accumulation of a considerable body of literature about frugivory and seed
dispersal of fleshy-fruited plants by vertebrates during the last decades (eg reviews in Howe …
