Disentangling conservation asymmetries through socio‐economic transboundary factors across the Alto Paraná Atlantic Forest of South America

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1328-1348, May 2026.
Abstract Ecoregions are often defined based on homogeneous biophysical and ecological conditions and are optimal spatial units for designing conservation strategies. However, transboundary ecoregions such as the Alto Paraná Atlantic Forest (APAF) experience asymmetrical conservation outcomes, understood here as cross‐border differences, resulting from ...

Temporal dynamics in functional fruit traits of native and invasive fleshy fruited plants in subtropical Andean forests

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1221-1232, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Fruits encompass the energetic and material flow between both interacting parties in frugivore‐mediated seed dispersal. Since fruit traits matter in frugivores' foraging decisions, the temporal dynamics of fruit traits might influence interaction outcomes.
