Non‐Native Rodents Dominate Understory Frugivory in the Eastern Caribbean Islands

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We investigated how non‐native mammals have disrupted frugivory by using artificial fruits and camera traps to measure native and non‐native frugivory interactions on 13 islands in the eastern Caribbean. We found that non‐native Rattus sp. were responsible for nearly 80% of all frugivorous activity and that increased non‐native mammal activity was ...
