Non‐Native Plants Alter Bird‐Plant Frugivory Network Structure in a Human‐Modified Tropical Landscape

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
DNA metabarcoding of faecal samples from 21 frugivorous bird species in Gamboa, Panama, was used to assess how non‐native plants influence frugivory network structure. Non‐native species, though comprising only 28% of plants, reduced nestedness, increased connectance and modularity, and caused disproportionately high secondary bird extinctions while ...

Past research and future directions in understanding how birds use their sense of smell

As it is impossible to measure directly which odours birds can detect, we rely on measuring behavioural responses to scent cues or ...

Habitat Protection Alone Is Insufficient: Costa Rican Parrots Thrive in Altered Landscapes but Remain Vulnerable to Poaching

Costa Rica, with 26% of its land area protected, is often cited as a model of environmental conservation. However, conservation efforts have largely focused on habitat preservation, while overharvesting remains an unquantified factor in
