Oikos, EarlyView.Due to the constraints of limited effort and sampling error, observed species interaction networks are an imperfect representation of the ‘true' underlying community. Link prediction methods allow us to construct a potentially more complete representation of a given empirical network by guiding targeted sampling of predicted links, as well as offer ...

Preliminary investigation of flexibility in learning color-reward associations in gibbons (Hylobatidae) [PDF]
, 2015 Previous studies in learning set formation have shown that most animal species can learn to learn with subsequent novel presentations being solved in fewer presentations than when they first encounter a task.

Oikos, EarlyView.The recovery of large carnivores offers unique opportunities to study their cascading impacts on plant population dynamics. Medium‐sized carnivores, both prey and seed dispersers, are suppressed by apex predators, indirectly increasing seed‐eating rodent's populations and potentially altering plant establishment.

What drives seed dispersal effectiveness?
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Seed dispersal is a critical phase in plant reproduction and forest regeneration. In many systems, the vast majority of woody species rely on seed dispersal by fruit‐eating animals.

Determining the habitat use of Varecia variegata in Maromizaha Protected Area, Madagascar [PDF]
, 2017 Understanding the interaction between frugivores and their habitat is necessary for both primate and forest preservation. In Madagascar, Varecia variegata, are the most highly frugivorous lemur in the Lemuridae family This project examined the habitat

A look at seed dispersal via mammal droppings [PDF]
, 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 ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Few studies have sought to understand the vertical patterns of bat–fruit systems, and therefore, it is not possible to evaluate whether interpretations based on data collected from a single stratum adequately represent the interaction patterns of this system. In this context, we evaluated the dissimilarity in the assemblage of frugivorous bats, plants,

Knowledge of dwellers about frugivory by birds in an urbanized region with restinga fragments in southeastern Brazil [PDF]
Biotemas, 2009 Ecological knowledge can be important to reveal in raising the awareness of people which becomes reflected in action on their local environment. This study evaluated the knowledge of dwellers about frugivory by birds in restinga fragments, an ecosystem ...
