People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 4, Page 871-886, April 2025.Abstract Rural communities in Amazonia rely on harvesting Mauritia flexuosa fruit, a dominant peatland palm, for their subsistence and income. However, these palms are felled to harvest the fruits, which has led to reduced resource availability due to the pressure exerted by the increasing fruit demand.

Circadian fruit phenology: An overlooked crucial aspect of plant‐frugivore interactions
Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 268-280, January 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The intrinsic ability of plants to face environmental diel changes is paramount for flowering and interactions with pollinators and herbivores. Surprisingly, despite the commendable research efforts on the ecology and evolution of fruit‐frugivore interactions, very ...

The role of wild palms in agroforestry systems in the Neotropics: A review
People and Nature, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 2200-2227, December 2024.Abstract Wild palms are among the most important plants in the Neotropics due to their wide distribution, species richness and cultural relevance for humans. In addition to their presence in forests, these plants also occur in anthropogenic systems throughout their range of distribution, but their role in these systems is often overlooked.

Functional Ecology, Volume 38, Issue 10, Page 2247-2260, October 2024.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Seed dispersal by frugivorous animals is a key process for plant populations and communities. When frugivores consume fruits, seeds are temporarily retained inside their guts until seed deposition.

International Biological Flora: Ceratonia siliqua
Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 8, Page 1885-1922, August 2024.The carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua) has a long traditional history in Mediterranean cultures providing food for humans and domestic animals. Its remarkable tolerance of drought, salt and fire, with an ability to thrive in poor, dry soils, makes it ideal for a warming Mediterranean climate.

Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 7, Page 1533-1549, July 2024.Despite strong specialization to gypsum soils, past divergent selection related to climatic gradients has driven adaptive population differentiation in Lepidium subulatum. All populations showed high but similar plasticity to drought, indicating that selection did not act against plasticity in harsh environmental conditions.

Functional Ecology, Volume 38, Issue 6, Page 1407-1419, June 2024.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Current global change scenarios demand knowledge on how anthropogenic impacts affect ecosystem functioning through changes in food web structure. Frugivorous mesocarnivores are a key link in trophic cascades because, while their abundance and behaviour are usually ...
