The mutualism–antagonism continuum in Neotropical palm–frugivore interactions: from interaction outcomes to ecosystem dynamics
C Marques Dracxler, WD Kissling - Biological Reviews, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Frugivory, that is feeding on fruits, pulp or seeds by animals, is usually considered a
mutualism when interactions involve seed dispersal, and an antagonism when it results in …

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 …
