American Journal of Primatology, Volume 88, Issue 6, June 2026.Standardized effect sizes of the relationships between predictor and response variables. Natural logarithms are denoted as “ln.” Open circles (blue outline) indicate mostly positive effects; solid circles (red filled) indicate mostly negative effects. ABSTRACT Species occupying small habitat patches and exhibiting behavioral and ecological flexibility ...

Connecting Resource Tracking by Frugivores to Temporal Variation in Seed Dispersal Networks
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2017 Mutualistic interactions between species are crucial for the maintenance and functioning of the community. Current research has shown the importance of not only understanding the structure of these mutualistic interaction networks but also their temporal

Frugivory by Elaenia flycatchers
, 1998 Quarenta conteúdos estomacais de sete espécies de Elaenia (Tyrannidae) foram analisados em relaçao ao volume de frutos e em relaçao ao tipo de ítem alimentar.

The Strength and Drivers of Bird-Mediated Selection on Fruit Crop Size: A Meta-Analysis
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018 In seed-dispersal mutualisms, the number of fruit a plant displays is a key trait, as it acts as a signal for seed dispersers that entails fruit removal and exportation of reproductive units (fruit crop size hypothesis).

Beta diversity and knowledge gaps of Colombia’s dry forests: implications for their conservation
Caldasia, 2019 On a continental scale, Neotropical dry forests exhibit high plant beta diversity, forming twelve unique floristic provinces. Conserving this diversity requires plans to protect areas in each province, based on an understanding of their particular ...
