The arboreal marsupial monito del monte (genus Dromiciops, with two recognized species)
is a paradigmatic mammal. It is the sole living representative of the order Microbiotheria, the …

Climate change is triggering ecological responses all over the world as a result of frequent,
prolonged droughts. It could also affect ecological interactions, particularly pollination and …

Despite forests are a biodiversity reservoir and a wellbeing source for the humankind, they
have been largely disturbed in the past decades. Disturbed and naturally-regenerated …

Point counts are widely used to assess bird diversity. However, this method has some
limitations and can be affected by observer bias. For this reason, it is commonly …

Anthropogenic disturbance can modify habitat structure and resource availability, potentially
disrupting ecological interactions. This issue may be critical for pollination and seed …

New World marsupials have a striking diversity of activity patterns. Until now, knowledge on
diel activity was normally granted by means of simple classifications, like diurnal or …

Anthropogenic disturbance has dramatically degraded and reduced the extension of the
temperate rainforests of southern South America, negatively affecting forest animals that …

Habitat structure determines species occurrence and behavior. However, human activities
are altering natural habitat structure, potentially hampering native species due to the loss of …

We analyzed the variation in cranial morphology of the marsupial Dromiciops gliroides
along its distribution in south-central Chile. We evaluated whether the cranial morphological …

Mistletoes rely on biotic seed dispersal to ensure their recruitment on appropriate host
plants, as their seeds must be deposited on safe sites to allow attachment. As most host …
