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 …

When climatic or environmental conditions change, plant populations must either adapt to
these new conditions, or track their niche via seed dispersal. Adaptation of plants to different …

Urbanization is currently one of the trademarks of the Anthropocene, accelerating
evolutionary processes and resha** ecological interactions over short time scales …

Premise Spiny pollen has evolved independently in multiple entomophilous lineages.
Sexual selection may act on exine traits that facilitate male mating success by influencing …

In seed-dispersal mutualisms, the number of fruit a plant displays is a key trait, as it acts as a
signal for seed dispersers that entails fruit removal and exportation of reproductive units (fruit …

Fruit selection, ie, the consumption of fruits disproportionately to their availability, results
from the interaction between diet preferences and ecological factors that modify them. We …

Bird foraging behaviour is a major factor involved in mutualistic interactions of fleshy-fruited
plants. Despite much research, we still lack quantified demonstrations of how fruit display …

In visually driven seed dispersal mutualisms, natural selection should promote plant
strategies that maximize fruit visibility to dispersers. Plants might increase seed dispersal …

The diets of frugivorous animals result from the interaction between feeding preference and
ecological factors such as availability of alternative resources and interactions with other …

Every organism on Earth must cope with a multitude of species interactions both directly and
indirectly throughout its life cycle. However, how selection from multiple species occupying …
