Las especies exóticas presentan una ventaja competitiva durante la dispersión de semillas que realizan las aves acuáticas por endozoocoria
This new study underlines the important role of seed traits in the endozoochory potential of alien and native plant species, notably through their influence on retention time and germination.
Bird migration limits the adaptation of European plants to climate change
A study with the participation of the Doñana Biological Station (CSIC) shows that most of the plants in Europe are dispersed by birds that migrate to warmer areas in autumn. Common birds that...
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...
Defaunation precipitates the extinction of evolutionarily distinct interactions in the Anthropocene
Species on Earth are interconnected with each other through ecological interactions. Defaunation can erode those connections, yet we lack evolutionary predictions about the consequences of losing...
