Cats are generalist predators that have been widely introduced to the world's~ 179 000
islands. Once introduced to islands, cats prey on a variety of native species many of which …

Many introduced plant species rely on mutualisms in their new habitats to overcome barriers
to establishment and to become naturalized and, in some cases, invasive. Mutualisms …

Postdispersal fate of seeds from Ocotea endresiana (Lauraceae), a bird‐dispersed
Neotropical montane tree, was studied in Costa Rica to determine the influence of seed …

Animals play an important role in the seed dispersal of many plants. It is increasingly
recognized, however, that the actions of a single disperser rarely determine a seed's fate …

Dispersal of Spanish juniper Juniperus thurifera was examined in a farming landscape of
central Spain to study the effects of fragmentation on the dispersal effectiveness of the …

Seed dispersal may be a major ecological role of mesocarnivores. However, the general
features of seed dispersal by mesocarnivores are not well elucidated. Here, we review the …
