We review progress in our understanding of the importance of waterbirds as dispersal
vectors of other organisms, and identify priorities for further research. Waterbirds are …

Rewilding encompasses management actions such as reintroductions and translocations
with the purpose of restoring ecological processes and ecosystem functions that were lost …

Securing the long-term resilience of the world's most speciose avifauna, that of the
Neotropics, requires spatially and temporally explicit data to inform decisions. We examine …

Interactions between resource and consumer species are organized in ecological networks.
Species interactions in these networks are influenced by the functional traits of the …

While large avian frugivores are known to be key dispersers for large‐seeded tree species,
their role in community‐wide plant‐disperser networks is still poorly known. Large avian …

Aim Forest fragmentation is among the principal causes of global biodiversity loss, yet how it
affects mutualistic interactions between plants and animals at large spatial scale is poorly …

Identifying keystone plant resources (KPR) is a contentious issue in ecology and
conservation. Despite recent advances provided by mutualistic networks, we still lack …

Networks of mutualistic interactions between animals and plants are considered a pivotal
part of ecological communities. However, mutualistic networks are rarely studied from the …

Abstract Background and Aims Much of our understanding of the ecology and evolution of
seed dispersal in the Neotropics is founded on studies involving the animal-dispersed …

Abundance and trait-driven processes have both been identified as potential mechanisms in
determining the occurrence of species interactions. However, little is known about how these …
