Effects of manakin gut passage on germination of a neotropical melastome shrub (Melastomataceae)
In a paired germination experiment, we found that manakin gut passage accelerated germination of a common and widespread Melastome shrub, Miconia rubescens, which may function as an important pioneer in regenerating rainforest. Manakin species varied in their gut passage effects and within species, body mass correlated with greater and earlier ...

Our findings suggest that the spatial distribution of flowering wild plants can inform movement patterns of lacewings and other flower‐visiting insects in agricultural landscapes. In addition, the location of floral resources in the landscape is important for its capacity to sustain natural enemies. Given the strong reliance of lacewings on pollen from

Invasive species management and the restoration of target plant communities can be aided by assisting successional trajectories that have stalled. We document a restoration strategy for forests invaded by shade‐intolerant invaders that is both effective and economical, as only a simple site preparation and single planting effort is required ...
