Seed dispersal is crucial for ecosystem persistence, especially in fragmented landscapes, such as those common in Europe. Ongoing defaunation might compromise effective seed …
There is growing interest in understanding the functional outcomes of species interactions in ecological networks. For many mutualistic networks, including pollination and seed …
Habitat fragmentation impacts seed dispersal processes that are important in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. However, it is still unclear how habitat fragmentation …
Global biodiversity is increasingly threatened by land‐use change, but the direct and indirect drivers of species diversity in human‐modified tropical landscapes are poorly known. Forest …
All organisms are ultimately dependent on a large diversity of consumptive and non- consumptive interactions established with other organisms, forming an intricate web of …

Aim Biogeographical comparisons of interaction networks help to elucidate differences in ecological communities and ecosystem functioning at large scales. Neotropical ecosystems …
Species interactions can propagate disturbances across space via direct and indirect effects, potentially connecting species at a global scale. However, ecological and biogeographic …
As a result of anthropogenic pressure, three drives are expected to affect Brazilian savannas: an increase in the dry season, more frequent fire events, and defaunation. These …
Animal biodiversity matters for the provision of ecosystem functions derived from trophic activity. However, the mechanisms underlying this pattern remain elusive since animal …
