Seed dispersal by frugivores without seed swallowing: Evaluating the contributions of stomatochoric seed dispersers
KR McConkey, HS Sushma, A Sengupta - Functional Ecology, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
The process of seed dispersal that underpins ecosystem maintenance is performed by
diverse arrays of fruit‐eating animals. However, seed dispersal studies are primarily focused …

Opportunistic or non-random wildlife crime? Attractiveness rather than abundance in the wild leads to selective parrot poaching
Illegal wildlife trade, which mostly focuses on high-demand species, constitutes a major
threat to biodiversity. However, whether poaching is an opportunistic crime within high …

Conserving the diversity of ecological interactions: The role of two threatened macaw species as legitimate dispersers of “megafaunal” fruits
The extinction of ecological functions is increasingly considered a major component of
biodiversity loss, given its pervasive effects on ecosystems, and it may precede the …

Multiple external seed dispersers challenge the megafaunal syndrome anachronism and the surrogate ecological function of livestock
The dispersal of many large-seeded plants is thought to have been handicapped by the
extinction of megafauna in the late Pleistocene, and due to the ongoing defaunation of the …

Epizoochory in parrots as an overlooked yet widespread plant–animal mutualism
Plant–animal interactions are key to sustaining whole communities and ecosystem function.
However, their complexity may limit our understanding of the underlying mechanisms and …

Climate change is expected to restructure forest frugivorous bird communities in a biodiversity hot‐point within the Atlantic Forest
Aim Changes in climatic conditions are predicted to impact species distribution and hence
alter their diversity patterns. Modifications in the composition of biological communities are …

When does agriculture enter into conflict with wildlife? A global assessment of parrot–agriculture conflicts and their conservation effects
JM Barbosa, F Hiraldo, MÁ Romero… - Diversity and …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Aim No human activity has changed natural habitat availability and ecosystem functioning
more than agriculture. As a consequence, species may be forced to use croplands as …

The extent, frequency and ecological functions of food wasting by parrots
Anecdotic citations of food wasting have been described for parrots, but we lack a
comprehensive knowledge about the extent of this behaviour, and its ecological and …
