Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.We simultaneously evaluated how the fruiting neighborhood, defined as the number of fruiting palms in a 35 m radius, and relevant traits at the level of individual plants (e.g., height, crop size) and fruits (e.g., fruit and seed size, water, and sucrose content) influenced frugivore visitation and the number of fruits removed per visit in a common ...

A New Method of Fruit Marking for Studies on Chiropterochory
Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.We used edible glitter to mark 15,526 fruits of three chiropterochorous plants at 700, 1000, 2000, and 3200 m from a bat roost in Brazil's caatinga. Glitter from all distances was detected at the roost, allowing the identification of specific feeding areas accessed, providing a new approach for zoochory studies.

Isolated Trees in a Fragmented Tropical Landscape: A View Through the Soil Seed Bank
Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 5, September 2025.Here, we investigated patterns of plant species diversity, abundance, and composition in the soil seed banks of cattle pastures, under fleshy‐fruited, and nonfleshy‐fruited trees within pastures, and in secondary forest patches at ten study sites in Brazil.

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 238-253, January 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Seed dispersal by frugivores is a crucial step of the life cycle of most plants, influencing plant population and community dynamics. Although very important for most ecosystems, we are just beginning to understand which are the mechanisms driving frugivore‐mediated ...
