Bird-plant interaction networks: a study on frugivory in Brazilian urban areas

Biotemas, 2015
In Brazil, few studies compare the consumption of native and exotic fruits, especially in an urban environment. The Network Theory may be useful in such studies, because it allows evaluating many bird and plant species involved in interactions. The goals

Allometric patterns in Rhamphorhynchus muensteri and their role in the paleoecology, life habits, and taxonomic framework of pterosaurs

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The Graphical Abstract ilustrates the different allometric pattern within different Pterosauria groups, highlighting how the allometry influences the flight and habits of Pterosauria. Abstract Pterosaurs were the first vertebrates to achieve powered flight, a result of various unique anatomical adaptations, and significant morphological diversity ...

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 ...

Neglected seed dispersers and research compartmentalisation: how much do we know about what we don't know?

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Geographic distribution of seed dispersal studies by disperser guild. Summary Seed dispersal is critical for long‐term ecosystem resilience. However, excessive compartmentalisation of research into particular disperser guilds (e.g. birds) hampers our understanding of their relative contributions to overall seed dispersal, risking erroneous conclusions ...

A global review of mistletoe frugivory and seed dispersal: The plant perspective

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
We reviewed studies on mistletoe frugivory and seed dispersal worldwide. Although mistletoes are relatively well studied, major taxonomic, geographic, and methodological gaps remain. We conclude that modern technologies offer new opportunities to address long‐standing but still poorly explored questions about these interactions.

Seed rain generated by bats under Cerrado’s pasture remnant trees in a Neotropical savanna

Brazilian Journal of Biology
In this study we described the seed rain generated by bats under four Cerrado’s tree species common within pastures, Buchenavia tomentosa, Couepia grandiflora, Licania humilis and Qualea grandiflora. We analyzed the similarity among the four tree species

Diet composition of the Red‐billed curassow (Crax blumenbachii) and its role as seed disperser in the Atlantic Forest: conservation insights

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Forest fragmentation and defaunation are major drivers of biodiversity loss in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, where 70–90% of tree species depend on animal‐mediated seed dispersal. Reintroduction of large frugivores, such as cracids, is being used to restore species populations and lost ecological functions.

Increased Unripe‐to‐Ripe Fruit Ratios Within Bicolored Displays Enhance Interactions With Avian Frugivores

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Plants dispersed by visually oriented frugivores may enhance fruit detection through bicolored displays. Using manipulative experiments, I show that higher proportions of unripe fruits, rather than bicolored display alone, increase frugivory.

Factors influencing home range size and overlap in nonbreeding Kirtland’s Warblers on Eleuthera, The Bahamas

Avian Conservation and Ecology
Knowledge of space use provides insight into a species’ habitat requirements needed for conservation. Little is known about space use of the near threatened Kirtland’s Warbler ( Setophaga kirtlandii ) wintering in The Bahamas, and how the warbler’s home ...
