Stripes of prey species associated with group living
Grouping is a widespread form of predator defence, with individuals in groups often performing evasive collective movements in response to attack by predators. Individuals in these groups use...
Seed dispersal by neotropical waterfowl depends on bird species and seasonality
Waterbirds have an important ecological function as vectors of plant dispersal between different wetlands. In the Neotropical region, there is very limited information about this dispersal. In...
Restored and artificial wetlands do not support the same waterbird functional diversity as natural wetlands
The restoration of degraded areas and the creation of artificial ecosystems have partially compensated for the continuing loss of natural wetlands. However, the success of these wetlands in terms...
Impact of fisheries on sea turtles
The bycatch of sea turtles by industrial fisheries is receiving an increasing attention in recent years due to the high impact it causes on these endangered species. This issue was evaluated in...
The structure of waterbird seed dispersal networks is not mediated by functional traits
Plants and their dispersers form interaction networks whose structure has important implications for the persistence and stability of the community. Frugivory is vital for the dispersal of many...
