Composição da avifauna e frugivoria por ave em um mosaico sucessional na Mata Atlântica
, 2008 Seed dispersers play a key role in the ecology and evolution of fleshy-fruited plants; especially in tropical forests where from 70% to 90% of all woody species are dispersed by vertebrates. The recent disruption of these interactions caused by human activities may bring about a considerable loss of biodiversity.

Intensidade de herbivoria na espécie Macroptilium lathyroides (Fabaceae)
Diversitas Journal, 2020 RESUMO: As interações planta-animal, apresentam-se através de relações ditas desarmônicas ou antagonistas, e harmônicas ou de cooperação. Levando em consideração as relações antagonistas, a herbivoria é a mais importante, podendo afetar as folhas ...

Frugivory underpins the nitrogen cycle
Functional Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 357-368, February 2021., 2021 A free Plain Language Summary can be found within the Supporting Information of this article. Abstract Tropical rainforests are populated by large frugivores that feed upon fruit‐producing woody species, yet their role in regulating the cycle of globally important biogeochemical elements such as nitrogen is still unknown.

Birds consuming fruits of Varronia curassavica Jacq. (Boraginaceae) in southastern Brazil (Scientific Note). Aves consumidoras dos frutos de Varronia curassavica Jacq. (Boraginaceae) no Sudeste do Brasil (Nota Científica) [PDF]
Revista do Instituto Florestal, 2017 The Tropical Black Sage Varronia curassavica Jacq. is a widespread shrub in Brazil, which has become invasive in some parts of the world. We recorded 24 bird species consuming its fruits and potentially dispersing its seeds at Alberto Löfgren State ...

Functional 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 ...
