Factors affecting the early survival and growth of native tree seedlings planted on a degraded hillside Grassland in Hong Kong, China [PDF]
, 2003 The effects of seasonal drought, belowground competition, and low soil fertility on the survival and growth over 2 years of four native tree species planted on a degraded hillside grassland in Hong Kong were studied in a field transplant experiment using

On traits matching and the modular organization of food web and occurrence networks
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 5, Page 837-850, May 2026.What mechanisms shape ecological networks? In Paraná River piscivores, species traits and abundance scaling promote modular structures. Our findings reveal how communities self‐organize and highlight the conditions needed to sustain them. Abstract Modularity and nestedness have been observed recurrently across different ecological networks, including ...

Disentangling factors controlling fruit and seed removal by rodents in temperate forests [PDF]
, 2011 Fleshy fruits fall on to the ground together with cleaned seeds previously ingested by primary dispersers, offering a wide range of fruits and seeds to the ground foragers.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.Our findings show that management strategies can create fundamentally different seed dispersal regimes, even under similar environmental conditions. Anthropogenic diversification reshapes network organisation into distinct structural configurations, rather than consistently enhancing overall cohesion.

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.Severe frost events seem to be happening on average every 5 years, rather than 7 years, as previously reported in the southern limit of the Cerrado, a Neotropical savanna. We conducted this study in the Cerrado, where severe frost events allowed us to compare fruit production and frugivorous bird abundance before and after the disturbance.

On the relationship among birds and Trema micrantha in montane forests of Hispaniola
Novitates Caribaea, 2018 Avian frugivores are of great interest to ecologists because they play an important role in ecosystem functioning, and can serve as important components in habitat restoration.

Object grasping and manipulation in capuchin monkeys (genera Cebus and Sapajus) [PDF]
, 2018 The abilities to perform skilled hand movements and to manipulate objects dexterously are landmarks in the evolution of primates. The study of how primates use their hands to grasp and manipulate objects in accordance with their needs sheds light on how ...
