By dispersing seeds, frugivorous animals affect spatial co‐occurrence of plants, ultimately influencing plant community dynamics. Frugivorous animals are intrinsically involved in plant community dynamics, by dispersing seeds of fleshy‐fruited plants and influencing their spatial co‐occurrence.

Habitat loss reshuffles ecological and evolutionary interactions in a seed dispersal network
In tropical forests, habitat loss reshapes species composition, favoring generalists and recently emerged lineages while specialists and older evolutionary lineages are lost. However, how changes in species ecological attributes and evolutionary history affect ecological processes is poorly explored.

Drivers of individual plant species contributions to β‐diversity are scale‐dependent
Species introductions and local extinctions of native species are driving biotic homogenisation in plant communities by reducing β‐diversity. Individual species vary in their contributions to β‐diversity (species contribution to β‐diversity; species‐β), yet our understanding of how species characteristics shape these contributions remains limited ...

Population growth reflects the combined influence of regulation and density‐independent factors operating through demographic processes. Under exceptional circumstances (e.g. populations recovering from near‐extinction), growth may initially be weakly regulated but typically slows as negative density dependence (NDD) sets in.

Spatially explicit individual‐based models provide a powerful way to explore spatial dynamics when direct observation is not feasible. But for many ecological applications, these models require detailed data on the initial spatial arrangement and traits of individuals – information rarely available in large, heterogeneous or novel landscapes.
