Neotropical dry forests are among the most diverse and threatened ecosystems worldwide.
The extent and knowledge of Neotropical dry forests are quite heterogeneous with forests …

Seed dispersal is a fundamental process that is highly threatened by the rapid decline of
large‐bodied frugivores worldwide. The Brazilian Cerrado, the largest savanna in the world …

Opossums are the most diverse and ecologically important group of New World marsupials,
although only the Virginia opossum is familiar to North American residents. In fact, many …

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 …

Seed dispersal by vertebrate animals is critical for the establishment of fleshy‐fruited plant
species. In regions with impoverished faunas, such as the Patagonian temperate forest, the …

Melastomataceae species successfully colonize, and in many cases dominate, ecosystems
ranging from forest to open vegetation, from sea level to mountain summits, and isolated …

We analyzed the feeding habits and the endozoochoric seed dispersal of six species of
Neotropical small rodents in a riparian forest in the Cerrado biome at the central portion of …

We analyzed the diet composition of Monodelphis domestica (Wagner, 1842) distributed in a
high-altitude rocky habitat (campo rupestre) in Southeastern Brazil, between October 2015 …

Avian frugivores play a key role in seed dispersal of many plant species, including invasive
alien plants. We assessed the effect of gut passage on the germination of selected invasive …

The diet of the brown four-eyed opossum (Metachirus nudicaudatus) at a riparian savanna
in Brazil was analyzed using 22 fecal samples collected monthly from November 2009 to …
