Disclosing the double mutualist role of birds on Galápagos
Life on oceanic islands deviate in many ways from that on the mainland. Their biodiversity is
relatively poor and some groups are well-represented, others not, especially not insects. A …

Small size does not restrain frugivory and seed dispersal across the evolutionary radiation of Galápagos lava lizards
Frugivory in lizards is often assumed to be constrained by body size; only large individuals
are considered capable of consuming fruits, with the potential of acting as seed dispersers …
