The mutualism-antagonism continuum in Neotropical palm-frugivore interactions: from interaction outcomes to ecosystem dynamics. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc, 2022 ABSTRACT Frugivory, that is feeding on fruits, pulp or seeds by animals, is usually considered a mutualism when interactions involve seed dispersal, and an antagonism when it results in the predation and destruction of seeds. Nevertheless, most frugivory interactions involve both benefits and disadvantages for plants, and the net interaction outcomes ...

Two rodent suborders have evolved missing amino acids in the lipid-binding region of apolipoprotein E. [PDF]
LipidsAbstract The order Rodentia comprises nearly 45% of all extant taxa, currently organized into 31 living families, some 450 genera, and roughly 2010 species (Kelt & Patton, 2020). Considering that rodents began evolving at least 66 million years ago, it is not surprising that they have diversified into five distinct suborders.

Trait-based climate vulnerability of native rodents in southwestern Mexico. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2020 We used a trait‐based approach together with climate exposure models to evaluate the potential vulnerability of rodent species to climate change in Oaxaca, the most mammal‐diverse state in Mexico. Depending on the climate scenario, most to all species were projected to have some level of vulnerability with narrow and restricted range species projected ...
