Zoochory is an ecologically and evolutionarily important seed dispersal type. The decline
and extinction of seed-dispersing large herbivores severely threatens dispersal-driven …

Mutualism or antagonism between species is often investigated within the framework of
monotonic interactions of either mutualism or antagonism, but studies on transition from …

Although arboreal camera trap** is a growing field, it has rarely been used for monitoring
plant‐frugivore interactions in the trees. Frugivore foraging behavior generally occurs in …

Understanding how seed dispersal disruption may alter plant community diversity and
dynamics over a large temporal scale remains a challenge. Here, we use a long‐term …

The significance of ecological non-monotonicity (a function whose first derivative changes
signs) in sha** the structure and functions of the ecosystem has recently been recognized …

Poor regeneration of natural vegetation is a major factor contributing to the degradation of
tropical coral islands. Soil seed banks (SSB) are important for maintaining the resilience of …

Small mammals play a critical role in forest ecosystems as both seed predators and
dispersers; they have been shown to affect tree species composition within forests and may …

Seed predation and dispersal by rodents plays an important role in seedling establishment
and forest regeneration. Spatiotemporal variation in seed availability at fine scales is …

Density‐dependent non‐monotonic species interactions are important in maintaining
ecosystem stability and function, but empirical evidences are still rare. Rodents, as both …

Abstract The Grain-for-Green Program in China is one of the largest payments for ecosystem
services programs, and it is regarded as effective for protecting the ecological environment …
