The seed dispersal effectiveness framework allows assessing mutualistic services from
frugivorous animals in terms of quantity and quality. Quantity accounts for the number of …

The consequences of plant–animal interactions often transcend the mere encounter stage,
as those encounters are followed by a chain of subsequent stages on the plant's …

The study of epigenetics, stable chemical changes that do not involve changes in the
sequence of nucleotides, has greatly advanced in recent years. These changes can be …

Aims Forest fragmentation and reduced tree population densities can potentially have
negative impacts on mating patterns, offspring genetic diversity and reproductive …

Vegetation clearing, land modification and agricultural intensification have impacted on
many ecological communities around the world. Understanding how species respond to …

Seed dispersal plays a crucial role in natural forest regeneration. Changes in the seed rain
due to anthropogenic habitat alteration can influence seedling recruitment patterns and …

Anthropogenic habitat deterioration can promote changes in plant mating systems that
subsequently may affect progeny performance, thereby conditioning plant recruitment for the …

Analysing pollen movement is a key to understanding the reproductive system of plant
species and how it is influenced by the spatial distribution of potential mating partners in …

Understanding spatiotemporal variations in genetic diversity and mating system can allow
policymakers to better support actions towards conservation and management of plant …

Studies concerning different habitat configurations can provide insights into the complex
interactions between species' life‐history traits and the environment and can help to predict …
