Small hydropower plants (SHPs) are proliferating globally, but their cumulative threat to
blocking migratory fish and the fisheries that these fish sustain has been underappreciated …

Frugivory and seed dispersal by fish is an important mutualistic interaction in complex and
species-rich tropical rivers. The local ecological knowledge (LEK) held by fishers can …

Fish can act as dispersal vectors for many plant species, and this mutualistic relationship is
critical for structuring and regeneration in Amazonian floodable forests. However …

Angiosperms have co‐evolved with animals over thousands of years leading to an array of
mutualistic relationships. Passage of plant seeds through animal intestines leads to an …

To understand the ecological relevance of fish-forest interactions, we sampled fish for a
period of 8 months in a lowland forest of the Brazilian Amazon and evaluated the …

Whether fish mediate plant dispersal in temperate freshwaters is largely unknown. A
prerequisite for successful dispersal is ingestion and surviving the journey in the intestinal …

The interaction between fish and plants is vital for the dynamics of ecosystems since it
influences plant distribution and regeneration patterns. In the floodable areas of the …

Consumption of fleshy fruits by frugivorous animals, which then disperse the seeds inside, is
a key ecological process, particularly in forests. Fruit is an easy food to consume but is …

ABSTRACTThe current research involved pure and reciprocal crosses of two African
catfishes: Clarias gariepinus (Cl) and Heterobranchus longifilis (Ht) to give four groups …

We evaluated seed consumption by fish in an altered tropical dry forest river in Mexico. Non‑
natives fishes more than natives ingested significantly more seeds in the rainy season …
