Forest cover drives bird occupancy across guilds and habitats in a Colombian coffee‐farming landscape

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Increasing landscape forest cover would improve occupancy for nearly all bird guilds using coffee and forest habitats in the Eastern Colombian Andes. Conserving forest and enhancing shade coffee are complementary–not interchangeable–strategies: landscape forest cover shapes the conditions under which farm‐scale habitat management can sustain diverse ...

Padrões de interações mutualísticas entre espécies arbóreas e aves frugívoras em uma comunidade de Restinga no Parque Estadual de Itapuã, RS, Brasil Patterns of mutualistic interactions between tree species and frugivorous birds in a restinga community at Itapuã State Park, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2007
Padrões de interação entre aves frugívoras e espécies arbóreas, com suas variações sazonais, foram determinados em uma mata de Restinga. Foram feitas observações visuais e capturas da avifauna, ao longo de um ano, estimando-se a conectância do sistema ...

Frost Decreases Fruit Production in a Neotropical Savanna: Implications for Frugivorous Bird Abundances

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
Severe frost events seem to be happening on average every 5 years, rather than 7 years, as previously reported in the southern limit of the Cerrado, a Neotropical savanna. We conducted this study in the Cerrado, where severe frost events allowed us to compare fruit production and frugivorous bird abundance before and after the disturbance.

Patterns of frugivory in the columnar cactus Pilosocereus leucocephalus

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 9, Issue 3, Page 1268-1277, February 2019., 2019
Birds and bats feed on the fruit, and presumably disperse, the seeds of Pilosocereus leucocephalus, a keystone columnar cactus species in Mesoamerica Abstract In the frugivory networks of many arid and semi‐arid Mesoamerican ecosystems, columnar cacti act as keystone species that produce fruits with a high content of water and nutrients attractive to ...

The ecology of attraction: Fruit traits and frugivore diversity in neotropical Piper

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 611-623, March 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Fruit traits can benefit plant reproduction by enhancing seed dispersal by mutualistic frugivores (e.g. seed dispersal syndromes), but identifying the role of specific fruit traits in mediating frugivory is challenging because these traits can serve multiple functions ...

Rainforest Fragmentation Decreases the Robustness of Plant‐Frugivore Interaction Networks

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 4, July 2025.
Our study in northern Costa Rica found that larger forest fragments and greater forest cover boost frugivore species richness and strengthen the modularity and robustness of plant–frugivore networks, with three tanager species serving as key species. Consequently, conserving these species and maintaining larger, contiguous forest areas is essential for

Avian seed dispersal out of the forests: A view through the lens of Pleistocene landscapes

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 3, Page 510-517, March 2025.
Many European woody species are light‐demanding and fail to regenerate in the shaded interiors of temperate forests. Most of these species are dispersed by frugivorous and seed‐caching birds. The spatial patterns of avian seed dispersal in fragmented anthropogenic landscapes are congruent with an ecological and evolutionary history with open and semi ...

Entrada de sementes em um fragmento florestal promovida por aves frugívoras de subosque [PDF]

, 2015
We studied the contribution of understory frugivorous birds to the seed inflow into a late successional Atlantic forest patch in southeastern Brazil. Five sampling units were established in the study site, each composed of a line of six mist nets and two
