A growing understanding of the ecology of seed dispersal has so far had little influence on
conservation practice, while the needs of conservation practice have had little influence on …

Vertical stratification (VS) is a widespread phenomenon in plant and animal communities in
forests and a key factor for structuring their species richness and biodiversity, particularly in …

Animal‐mediated seed dispersal is important for sustaining biological diversity in forest
ecosystems, particularly in the tropics. Forest fragmentation, hunting, and selective logging …

Shrubs and trees are assumed less likely to lose genetic variation in response to habitat
fragmentation because they have certain life‐history characteristics such as long lifespans …

The degree of interdependence and potential for shared coevolutionary history of
frugivorous animals and fleshy‐fruited plants are contentious topics. Recently, network …

Seed dispersal is a crucial component of plant population dynamics. Human landscape
modifications, such as habitat destruction and fragmentation, can alter the abundance of …

Forest fragmentation may have positive or negative effects on tropical tree populations. Our
earlier study of an endemic African tree, Leptonychia usambarensis (Sterculiaceae), in the …

Forest fragmentation and local disturbance are prevailing threats to tropical forest
ecosystems and affect frugivore communities and animal seed dispersal in different ways …

Forest fragmentation and selective logging are two main drivers of global environmental
change and modify biodiversity and environmental conditions in many tropical forests. The …

Conservation priorities for Prunus africana, a tree species found across Afromontane
regions, which is of great commercial interest internationally and of local value for rural …
