This study analyzed the growth and survival of 721 seedlings in Malaysian Borneo in relation to their local neighbourhood of surrounding matrix trees. We found that both were positively influenced by canopy openness and the basal area of surrounding trees, highlighting the importance of light availability and the benefits of areas with more unlogged ...

Data on the Distribution and Ecology of Pistia stratiotes L. (Araceae) in Hungary
Free‐floating macrophyte invasions pose an increasing threat to lowland freshwater systems in Central Europe, particularly in thermally influenced canal networks. This study provides the first detailed assessment of the distribution, habitat conditions, dispersal, and reproduction of Pistia stratiotes along the Élővíz Canal in southeastern Hungary ...

Stable isotope analysis indicates that fragmentation and habitat loss in semideciduous dry forests in the Brazilian Cerrado drive trophic niche shifts in Gracilinanus agilis, with potential consequences for its role as a seed disperser. ABSTRACT Habitat loss and fragmentation have notable effects on species' trophic ecology, often most pronounced in ...

The scaling of seed‐dispersal specialization in interaction networks across levels of organization
Natural ecosystems are characterized by a specialization pattern where few species are common while many others are rare. In ecological networks involving biotic interactions, specialization operates as a continuum at individual, species, and community levels. Theory predicts that ecological and evolutionary factors can primarily explain specialization.

Rapidly declining seagrass meadows in Brazil: Findings from satellite imagery and local knowledge
Abstract Due to the limitations of individual monitoring approaches, integrating social perceptions with multiple advanced technologies provides a new opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of ecosystem degradation. We combined historical aerial mapping, satellite imagery, semi‐structured interviews with local stakeholders, and a bilingual ...
