Frugivory, that is feeding on fruits, pulp or seeds by animals, is usually considered a
mutualism when interactions involve seed dispersal, and an antagonism when it results in …

Fire is a key ecological factor affecting biodiversity structure and composition. Fires' effects
on biodiversity can be beneficial or harmful depending on how, where, when, and why they …

Plants produce nutritious, fleshy fruits that attract various animals to facilitate seed dispersal
and recruitment dynamic. Species‐specific differential selection of seed size by multiple …

Seed dispersal may be a major ecological role of mesocarnivores. However, the general
features of seed dispersal by mesocarnivores are not well elucidated. Here, we review the …

Abstract Background and Aims Much of our understanding of the ecology and evolution of
seed dispersal in the Neotropics is founded on studies involving the animal-dispersed …

How communities assemble and restructure is of critical importance to ecological theory,
evolutionary theory, and conservation, but long-term perspectives on the patterns and …

Seed dispersal by frugivorous mammals is crucial for plant reproduction, but anthropogenic
disturbances can disrupt this process. However, there is a lack of research on mammalian …

The susceptibility of a plant community to invasion is influenced by multiple factors including
the characteristics of the invading species and the invaded environment but how road …

Reproduction by perennial plants varies from being relatively constant over years to the
production of massive and synchronous seed crops at irregular intervals, a reproductive …

For endozoochorous species, the quality component of seed dispersal effectiveness
depends in part on the treatment seeds receive in the animal's gut. Covering a variety of …
