Aim Biotic interactions–within guilds or across trophic levels–have widely been ignored in
species distribution models (SDMs). This synthesis outlines the development of 'species …

Here we review how adaptive traits contribute to the emergence and maintenance of
species richness gradients through their influence on demographic and diversification …

Coffee agroecosystems with complex shade canopies provide refuges for biodiversity, and
reductions in complexity cause biodiversity loss. However, no studies directly compare farms …

The dispersal-syndrome hypothesis posits that fruit traits are a product of selection by
frugivores. Although criticized as adaptationist, recent studies have suggested that traits …

The fruit‐tracking hypothesis predicts spatiotemporal links between changes in the
abundance of fruit‐eating birds and the abundance of their fleshy‐fruit resources. 2. While …

Land converted to coffee agriculture occupies> 5 million hectares of what was once prime
overwintering natural habitat in the American Neotropics for migrating birds. When tree …

The closure assumption of many abundance models, that individual animals are present
throughout the survey season, often is inconsistent with field data. The effects of closure …

Shade coffee plantations support high numbers of Neotropical migratory birds, but relatively
little is known about the structural and floristic attributes used by individual species. From …

Premise of the Study In animal‐dispersed plants, seed dispersal patterns of the same
species in the same habitat can greatly differ among individuals and temporally. Many …

Insect pollination is among the most essential ecosystem services for humanity. Globally,
bees are the most effective pollinators, and tropical bees are also important for maintaining …
