Synzoochory is the dispersal of seeds by seed-caching animals. The animal partner in this
interaction plays a dual role, acting both as seed disperser and seed predator. We propose …

Anthropogenic activities, such as grazing by domestic animals, are considered drivers of
environmental changes that may influence the structure of interaction networks. The study of …

Question The spatial and temporal dynamics of plant communities in various ecosystems
are shaped by the movements of seeds expressed as different dispersal modes. In desert …

The qualitative component of the effectiveness of seed dispersal by endozoochory
encompasses seed deposition. Neltuma flexuosa, a keystone tree of the Monte biome, is …

Integrating field-based and remotely sensed data has proven valuable for assessing on-the-
ground diversity of plants across a range of spatial scales. Here we assessed whether …

Recruitment by fencing of semi-arid trees is a common woodland conservation strategy that
may have both positive and negative implications. Domestic herbivores can act as efficient …

The effects of poaching on wildlife have been widely studied in conservation biology and
can be heterogeneous, particularly on ungulates. These effects can be estimated through …

The current biodiversity conservation framework explores “nature-people” relationships,
recognizing culture's central role. This study aimed to combine local knowledge with …

Abstract The Gran Chaco is the largest continuous region of the South American dry forest,
spanning Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia, and Brazil. Prosopis rubriflora and Prosopis …

Background The ecological indicators are useful tools to determine the effects of human
disturbances on woodland biodiversity. Nevertheless, ecological indicators not always …
