Invasive plant species driving the biotic homogenization of plant-frugivore interactions in the Atlantic Forest biodiversity hotspot
Although biological invasions are a common and intensively studied phenomenon, most
studies often ignore the biotic interactions that invasive species play in the environment …

Distance from nest and climate explain geographical trends of harvester ant's food resource use: a multi‐species approach
Main Animals not only forage for abundant and nearby resources, but their diets can also be
influenced by abiotic and geographic factors. This often results in non‐random interactions …
