Fruit use and fruit processing by euphonias, specialized avian frugivores
Oikos, EarlyView.Euphonias (Neotropical passerines in the genera Euphonia and Chlorophonia) form the quintessential example of a specialized avian frugivore, combining a high reliance on fruit as food and the restriction of fruit taxa exploited. To understand their specialization, we explored the integration of fruit morphological and nutritional traits with their ...

Biotropica, 2016 AbstractWhite‐sand forests represent natural laboratories of evolution over their long history throughout Amazonia and the Guiana Shield and pose significant physiological challenges to the plants and animals they host. The study of diversification in plant lineages comprising species endemic to white‐sand forest can therefore give insights into ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Fruit colour has long fascinated scientists and is widely considered an evolutionary adaptation to attract both avian and mammalian frugivores. While fleshy fruits play a key role in plant–animal interactions by promoting seed dispersal, the functional significance of colour variation, particularly multicoloured displays during ripening, remains poorly

Oikos, EarlyView.Seed dispersal by frugivores is a central process linking plant reproduction, animal foraging, population persistence, and ecosystem resilience. Currently, the spatial template sustaining these interactions is rapidly reconfigured by habitat loss and fragmentation promoted by human activity.

Analysis of Spontaneous Plant Species in an Urban Green Space in Southern Spain. [PDF]
Plant Environ InteractABSTRACT This study presents a detailed floristic inventory of the spontaneous flora in La Asomadilla urban park in Córdoba, southern Spain. In addition to being the largest urban park in the city, La Asomadilla is characterized by irregular terrain, a transitional location between the Guadalquivir river plain and Sierra Morena mountains, and the ...

Population recovery of an endangered macaw enhances long‐distance seed dispersal via stomatochory
Oikos, EarlyView.Seed dispersal by large, mobile vertebrates plays a key role in shaping plant spatial dynamics and community structure. However, how variation in animal population size influences the magnitude and spatial scale of seed dispersal remains poorly understood.
