Hungary's Current Climate Conditions Converge With the North‐Mediterranean of the 1980s: A Case Study in Mediterranean Ant Species New to Hungary [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.Climate change reshapes our environment, affects species distributions, and threatens biodiversity. We show that historical climate of certain Mediterranean ant species' native areas are similar to the contemporary climate of the same ant species' non‐native Hungarian areas/occurrences.

Age ratio in groups of a social ungulate affects epizoochorous dispersal and diaspore exchanges
Oikos, EarlyView.Animal‐mediated seed dispersal is a key process in plant population dynamics, species distribution and ecosystem functioning. As long‐distance dispersal agents, ungulates help to maintain native plant populations facing abiotic changes in their habitat and habitat fragmentation or habitat loss.

Morphobiometric characterization of dry fruits, seeds, seedlings, and young plants from a Cerrado fragment in the Caatinga Domain, Brazilian semiarid [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de CiênciasKnowledge about the morphology of diaspores and early growth enables a better understanding of the dynamics of plant communities. The objectives of this study were to characterize the morphobiometrics of fruits and seeds, analyze germination and initial ...

Plant dispersal strategies in post-mining restoration areas in the Eastern Amazon [PDF]
Acta Botânica BrasílicaMining activities in the Amazon result in significant environmental damage to mined areas. Natural regeneration through seed dispersal is a crucial process that aims to reintegrate those mined areas into the native vegetation nearby.

Dispersal syndromes of Vachellia caven: Dismantling introduction hypotheses and the role of man as a conceptual support for an archaeophyte in South America [PDF]
Heliyon, 2023 Vachellia caven has a disjunct distribution at the southern cone of South America, occupying two major ranges: west of Andes (Central Chile) and east of them (mainly the South American Gran Chaco).

Epizoochory in Parrots as an Overlooked Yet Widespread Plant–Animal Mutualism
Plants, 2021 Plant–animal interactions are key to sustaining whole communities and ecosystem function. However, their complexity may limit our understanding of the underlying mechanisms and the species involved.

The importance of pollination and dispersal syndromes for the conservation of Cerrado Rupestre fragments on ironstone outcrops immersed in an agricultural landscape [PDF]
Neotropical Biology and Conservation, 2022 Studies on pollination and seed dispersal are essential for the conservation of plant diversity. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the pollination and dispersal syndromes of five fragments of the Cerrado Rupestre immersed in an agricultural landscape ...

Invertebrate dispersal by waterbird species in neotropical wetlands
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2021 Endozoochory by waterbirds is particularly relevant to the dispersal of non-flying aquatic invertebrates. This ecological function exercised by birds has been demonstrated in different biogeographical regions, but there are no studies for the neotropical
