Non‐native mammals are weak candidates to substitute ecological function of native avian seed dispersers in an island ecosystem

Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1148-1158, November 2023., 2023
We tested whether non‐native rats and pigs were beneficial or harmful to seed dispersal in the forests of Guåhan, an island that has lost its native frugivores. We found that while rats and pigs had mixed effects depending on the species of seed that they interacted with, they mostly destroyed these seeds rather than enhancing their germination ...

Environment‐dependent influence of fruit size upon the distribution of the Malesian archipelagic flora

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 5, Issue 5, Page 712-721, September 2023., 2023
We found evidence that larger fruited plant species are more likely to be found in aseasonal wet areas of Malesia. These areas are likely to be impacted by increasing human encroachment, which threatens both large‐fruited species and the large fauna that are most likely responsible for their dispersal.
