Climb forest, climb: diverse disperser communities are key to assist plants tracking climate change on altitudinal gradients. [PDF]
Summary Climate change is forcing species to shift their distribution ranges. Animal seed dispersers might be particularly important in assisting plants tracking suitable climates to higher elevations. However, this role is still poorly understood due to a lack of comprehensive multi‐guild datasets along elevational gradients.

A New Method of Fruit Marking for Studies on Chiropterochory
We used edible glitter to mark 15,526 fruits of three chiropterochorous plants at 700, 1000, 2000, and 3200 m from a bat roost in Brazil's caatinga. Glitter from all distances was detected at the roost, allowing the identification of specific feeding areas accessed, providing a new approach for zoochory studies.

Ocorrência de zoocoria em florestas-de-galeria no Complexo do Cerrado, Brasil
Fruiting genera of shrubs and trees, mostly exploited by frugivorous birds and mammals, were dominant in 14 gallery forests within "cerrado" vegetation in central and southeastern Brazil. Zoochory was the most frequent dispersal syndrome found in this habitat, ranging from 62,6% to 89,4% by number of species, and from 58,1% to 94,1% by number of ...
