Inter‐annual variability of fruit timing and quantity at Nouragues (French Guiana): insights from hierarchical Bayesian analyses
The timing and quantity of fruit production are major determinants of the functioning of a
forest community, but simultaneous analyses of both are rare. We analyzed a ten‐year …

Modifications of the rain forest frugivore community are associated with reduced seed removal at the community level
Tropical rain forests worldwide are under increasing pressure from human activities, which
are altering key ecosystem processes such as plant–animal interactions. However, while the …
