Post‐dispersal seed predators contribute substantially to seed loss across many
ecosystems. Most research has focused on understanding sources of variation in seed loss …

The aim of this paper was to systematically reviewing the selected feed factors. A worldwide
food demand, including animal-derived food is highly predictable to increase at 60% by …

During the dry season four billion African and European granivorous birds in the Sahel
consume, by grand average, 15 g seeds/ha/day, equivalent to an average annual …

Abstract Information on diet breadth and preference can assist in understanding links
between food resources and population growth and inform habitat restoration for rare …

Deforestation and habitat loss resulting from land use changes are some of the utmost
anthropogenic impacts that threaten tropical birds in human-modified landscapes (HMLs) …

Knowledge of diet and dietary selectivity is vital, especially for the conservation of declining
species. Accurately obtaining this information, however, is difficult, especially if the study …

Numerical responses of animals to habitat perturbation often seem inconsistent, spreading
skepticism about the predictive capacity of applied ecology. Domestic grazing changes …

We evaluated whether seed mass, handling time, handling efficiency and profitability
account for (a) preferences in controlled experiments and (b) field‐diet composition of four …

Feeding flexibility is believed to reduce species vulnerability to local extinction associated
with environmental changes that cause food shortage, but to what extent such behavioural …

Maternal care is one of the key fitness parameters in all organisms. In plants, maternal care
takes the form of seeds production. Although seed mass is the most studied proxy for this …
