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 ...

Effects of Fruiting Neighborhood, Plant Traits, and Fruit Traits on Frugivore Visitation and Fruit Removal for an Understory Palm

open access: yesBiotropica, 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

open access: yesBiotropica, 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.

Ecological function over evolutionary legacy: The limited role of shared evolutionary history in shaping modern frugivory interactions

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3688-3703, December 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Frugivory, encompassing interactions between vertebrates and plants that range from mutualistic to antagonistic, drives seed dispersal and underpins the structure and resilience of tropical ecosystems.

Frugivoría de murciélagos en una región semiárida amenazada en el sureste de Brasil

open access: yes, 2022
Fruit bats have a high seed dispersal capacity contributing to the establishment of numerous plant species. In this work we examined the frugivorous diet of phyllostomid bats in the Cavernas do Peruaçu National Park, north of Minas Gerais, Brazil, an ...
