Birds are conspicuous in many habitats, occur worldwide, are ecologically diverse, and are
better known than other vertebrate groups. Birds devour pests, pollinate flowers, disperse …

Carbon storage is widely acknowledged as one of the most valuable forest ecosystem
services. Deforestation, logging, fragmentation, fire, and climate change have significant …

Quantifying mammalian biodiversity is a critical yet daunting challenge, particularly in
species‐rich ecosystems. Non‐volant small mammals account for> 60% of the mammalian …

Using the abundance and distribution of small mammals at 26 sites in an Atlantic forest
landscape, we investigated how species abundance and alpha and beta diversity are …

Many studies of postdispersal seed fate use seed removal as an index of seed predation.
However, following primary seed dispersal, some seeds are transported intact by ants, dung …

Humans hunt forest vertebrates throughout the tropics. Many preferred game species
consume flowers, fruit, seeds and/or leaves, and these interactions will cause their harvest to …

I compared dung beetle communities and assessed some of their functional effects (dung
removal, seed burial, seedling establishment) in continuous forest with those in 1‐ha and 10 …

The Janzen‐Connell hypothesis explains the maintenance of tropical diversity through the
interacting effects of parent‐centered dispersal patterns and distance‐and density …

Aim We set out to test the hypothesis that rates of pre‐and post‐dispersal seed predation
would be higher towards the tropics, across a broad range of species from around the world …

The responses of plant–animal interactions to forest fragmentation can vary. We
hypothesized that large-seeded plant species would be more susceptible to forest …
