The signatures of Anthropocene defaunation: cascading effects of the seed dispersal collapse
Anthropogenic activity is driving population declines and extinctions of large-bodied, fruit-
eating animals worldwide. Loss of these frugivores is expected to trigger negative cascading …

Persisting in defaunated landscapes: reduced plant population connectivity after seed dispersal collapse
Defaunation of large‐bodied frugivores could be causing severe losses of crucial ecosystem
functions such as seed dispersal. The immediate ecological consequences may include …

Downsized mutualisms: consequences of seed dispersers' body-size reduction for early plant recruitment
Extinction-driven, body-size reduction of seed dispersers (ie an ecological downsizing
resulting from severe defaunation) can entail the loss of unique ecological functions, and …

Integration of invasive Opuntia spp. by native and alien seed dispersers in the Mediterranean area and the Canary Islands
The success of many alien plant species depends on mutualistic relationships with other
species. We describe the assemblage of seed dispersers on three species of alien Opuntia …
