Oikos, EarlyView.Few studies have sought to understand the vertical patterns of bat–fruit systems, and therefore, it is not possible to evaluate whether interpretations based on data collected from a single stratum adequately represent the interaction patterns of this system. In this context, we evaluated the dissimilarity in the assemblage of frugivorous bats, plants,

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 ...

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.Activated Carbon as a Reinforcing Material for Starch Bioplastics. ABSTRACT Eco‐friendly starch‐based bioplastic films reinforced with activated carbon (AC) were produced using green plantain starch in its native and heat‐moisture treatment (HMT) forms to overcome typical limitations of starch materials, such as low mechanical strength and poor water ...
