Fleshy fruits have evolved multiple times and display a tremendous diversity of colours,
shapes, aromas and textures. For over a century this was attributed, at least in part, to …

In Mexico, dry forests are one of the ecosystems in major need of restoration intervention.
Here, we explored the ecological and social limitations on the restoration of Mexican dry …

The homogenization of fire regimes in a landscape may imply a temporal reduction in the
availability of resources, such as flowers and fruits, which affect the fauna, as well as …

Phenology, the study of seasonal timing of events in nature, plays a key role in the matching
between organisms and their environment. Yet, it has been poorly integrated in trait‐based …

Aims Plant recruitment may occur immediately after seed dispersal from the mother plant, or
be delayed through the formation of soil seed banks. These strategies are known to be …

Individual diet specialization, where individuals within a population exhibit distinct dietary
patterns, can be influenced by shifts in ecological opportunity. One underexplored avenue of …

Both biotic and abiotic factors restrict changes in autumn phenology, yet their effects remain
ambiguous, which hinders the accurate prediction of phenology under future climate …

Fruit features are crucial for plant propagation, population growth, biodiversity preservation,
and evolutionary survival. However, the synergistic regulatory mechanisms underlying the …

Germination timing is determined by several plant life‐history traits. Seed dormancy
regulates the time and place of early plant development and spreads recruitment risks over …

The use of propagules collected in ecotonal regions for restoration purposes is challenging
because of the mix of species from different vegetation types and reproductive phenological …
