Effects of Fruiting Neighborhood, Plant Traits, and Fruit Traits on Frugivore Visitation and Fruit Removal for an Understory Palm

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
We simultaneously evaluated how the fruiting neighborhood, defined as the number of fruiting palms in a 35 m radius, and relevant traits at the level of individual plants (e.g., height, crop size) and fruits (e.g., fruit and seed size, water, and sucrose content) influenced frugivore visitation and the number of fruits removed per visit in a common ...

Trees Inside and Outside of Forests in Guanacaste, Costa Rica: Comparisons Among Conservation Areas, Fencerows, and Urban Parks

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
We compared the abundance and characteristics of trees in replicated plots across a rural to urban gradient in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Trees in urban parks, fencerows, and national parks provide complementary benefits and have distinct compositions.

Unraveling the Phenology of the Liana Marcgravia longifolia: Temporal Patterns and Climatic Cues

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
We monitored the reproductive phenology of the Amazonian liana Marcgravia longifolia J. F. Macbr (Marcgraviaceae) for 84 consecutive months in the Peruvian Amazon to quantify the timing, synchrony, and seasonality of flowering and ripe fruiting. Flower presence peaked in August with intermediate synchrony, while ripe fruit presence peaked in November ...

Trait‐mediated effects driven by an invasive herbivore alter functionally diverse plant–frugivore interactions

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 216-228, January 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Fruit traits play a fundamental role in mediating plant‐frugivore interactions, shaping seed dispersal dynamics. Given the complexity of multi‐species interactions, these traits and, consequently, plant‐frugivore interactions can be indirectly influenced by third‐party ...

A new phylogeny of Anastrepha (Diptera: Tephritidae) based on nuclear loci obtained by phylogenomic methods

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
We present an extensive phylogenetic analysis, based on 293 nuclear loci and 728 individuals representing 237 species of Anastrepha, the largest and most economically important New World genus of Tephritidae. The analysis strongly supports the monophyly of most Anastrepha species groups, also revealing previously unknown relationships among species and
