Measuring and tracking biodiversity from local to global scales is challenging due to its
multifaceted nature and the range of metrics used to describe spatial and temporal patterns …

Seed dispersal by frugivores is a crucial step of the life cycle of most plants, influencing plant
population and community dynamics. Although very important for most ecosystems, we are …

Farmland ecosystem services frequently result from different ecological functions
simultaneous provided by specific biodiversity groups such as birds. These bundles of …

Birds feeding on fruits (frugivores) affect seed dispersal, seedling establishment and,
ultimately, plant assemblage composition. Thus, the mechanisms underlying fruit …

Seed arrival to degraded areas often represents a limiting factor to forest regeneration, but
seed-dispersing birds able to move into such areas may help to overcome such constraint …

The occurrence of frugivorous bird species is strongly associated with the occurrence of fruit
tree species in natural environments. However, the presence of a similar relationship in …

Global change drivers are causing widespread biodiversity loss, and certain species are
disproportionally impacted depending on their traits (eg, large species are more susceptible …
