Waterbird seed‐dispersal networks are similarly nested but less modular than those of frugivorous birds, and not driven by functional traits

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 11, Page 2283-2291, November 2020., 2020
A free Plain Language Summary can be found within the Supporting Information of this article. Abstract Frugivory is widely recognized as vital for the dispersal of many plants. Moreover, plant species and their frugivorous dispersers form seed‐dispersal assemblages whose structure has important implications for the persistence and stability of the ...

A look at seed dispersal via mammal droppings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Terrestrial mammals are good dispersers of the fruits and seeds of seasonal rainforest in the Gulf of Mexico. Their importance lies in the huge quantity of fruit and seeds they consume, and their daily and seasonal movement through natural and secondary ...

Baobabs de Madagascar : un anachronisme de la dispersion ? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
La dispersion des semences de baobabs malgaches, Adansonia spp., semble ne jamais avoir été étudiée de manière formelle, à ce jour. Elle relève d'hypothèses que cette synthèse bibliographique a pour objet de réunir.

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

open access: yesFunctional 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 ...
