Trophic and spatial complementarity on seed dispersal services by birds, wild mammals, and cattle in a Mediterranean woodland pasture

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021
Most earth surfaces have undergone intensive land-use changes, creating habitat mosaics. Seed dispersal by animals is a crucial process in such mosaics, but community-wide studies comparing the functional complementarity and response to man-imposed ...

Urban Microfarms: Hot or Cold Spots for Plants and Soil Biodiversity?

European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 77, Issue 2, March–April 2026.
Investigation of soil and plant biodiversity in urban microfarms on the ground and on rooftops. ABSTRACT Urban agriculture plays a key role in urban ecosystems functionality and resilience, and can take many forms: allotment gardens, community garden or urban microfarms.

Successional trajectories of seed dispersal mode and seed size of canopy tree species in wet tropical forests

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022
Despite the critical role of seed dispersal for tree colonization during forest succession in wet tropical forests, successional trajectories of seed dispersal modes are poorly documented at the community level.

Forest structure and connectivity drive the functional recovery of seed rain

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
Local forest structure and landscape‐scale connectivity shape distinct but complementary pathways of the functional recovery of seed rain in tropical forests. Structural complexity promotes functionally diverse plant–frugivore interactions locally, while connectivity facilitates the arrival of late‐successional seeds from external sources.

Driver's Seat: Understanding Divergent Zoochorous Dispersal of Propagules

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
The functional role, relative importance, and the spatial and temporal parameters of different vector species, which underpin the passive dispersal (zoochory) of organisms (or their propagules), are frequently poorly understood. Accordingly, a conceptual

Evolutionary Divergence of an Ethylene‐Responsive Transcriptional Cascade Governs a Dose‐Dependent Balance between Cotton Fiber Length and Strength

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 5, 27 January 2026.
A tunable, ethylene‐responsive cascade governing the dose‐dependent balance between fiber length and strength is unveiled. Elevated ethylene strengthens modern tetraploid cotton (G. hirsutum) fibers but elongates those of its diploid ancestor (G. arboreum). This phenotypic switch is traced to an evolutionary functional inversion of a conserved EIN3‐ERF‐

Best management practices to face degradated territories occupied by Cistus ladanifer shrublands – Portugal case study [PDF]

, 2015
Land degradation in Mediterranean Basin is clearly connected to the resilience of perturbed ecosystems, contributing to land abandonment, recurrent fires and biodiversity loss, with the prevalence of secondary shrublands that tend to occupy large areas ...
