Long Distance Seed Dispersal by Forest Elephants [PDF]
By dispersing seeds long distances, large, fruit-eating animals influence plant population spread and community dynamics. After fruit consumption, animal gut passage time and movement determine seed dispersal patterns and distances. These, in turn, are influenced by extrinsic, environmental variables and intrinsic, individual-level variables.

Secondary seed removal in a degraded forest habitat in Madagascar
Forest restoration is a prime goal within the 2021–2030 UN “Decade of Ecosystem Resoration”. As part of these activities, natural regeneration has to be promoted for biological as well as for economic reasons.

Germination responses to light of four Neotropical forest tree species along an elevational gradient in the southern Central Andes [PDF]
Seed germination is a key part of plants' life cycle and is mostly affected by the genetic background, the environmental conditions experienced by the mother plant and the seedbed conditions.

International principles and standards for native seeds in ecological restoration
The growing demand for native seeds in ecological restoration and rehabilitation, whether for mining, forest, or ecosystem restoration, has resulted in a major global industry in the sourcing, supply, and sale of native seeds.

Reunion overseas: introduced wild boars and cultivated orange trees interact in the Brazilian Atlantic forest [PDF]
Little is known concerning novel interactions between species that typically interact in their native range but, as a consequence of human activity, are also interacting out of their original distribution under new ecological conditions.
