Evidence is increasing for positive effects of α-diversity on ecosystem functioning. We
highlight here the crucial role of β-diversity–a hitherto underexplored facet of biodiversity–for …

The relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (BEF) and its
consequence for ecosystem services has predominantly been studied by controlled, short …

Fruit type, an important reproductive trait, is closely related to reproduction strategy,
community dynamics and biotic interactions. However, limited research has explored the …

Interactions between resource and consumer species result in complex ecological networks.
The overall structure of these networks is often stable in space and time, but little is known …

The consequences of plant–animal interactions often transcend the mere encounter stage,
as those encounters are followed by a chain of subsequent stages on the plant's …

Abstract Background and Aims Dispersal is crucial due to its direct impact on dynamics of a
species' distribution as well as having a role in shaping adaptive potential through gene …

Landscape's spatial structure has vast implications for the dynamics and distribution of
species populations and ecological communities. However, the characterization of the …

Over the last two centuries, the Red-and-Green Macaw (Ara chloropterus) has become
locally extinct in Argentina. In an attempt to restore its key ecosystem functions as both …

Ecologists have long recognized that seed dispersal mutualisms trigger natural regeneration
and range expansion of animal‐dispersed trees. Yet we lack empirical studies addressing …
