There is growing realization that intraspecific variation in seed dispersal can have important
ecological and evolutionary consequences. However, we do not have a good understanding …

Cryptic function loss occurs when the ecological function of an animal population is
significantly altered as a result of disturbance, even though the species is still present in the …

Disturbance and habitat modification by humans can alter animal movement, leading to
negative impacts on fitness, survival and population viability. However, the ubiquity and …

Consistent individual tendencies in behaviour, or behavioural types, are likely to impact the
dynamics and outcomes of animal‐mediated seed dispersal. We review the extant literature …

Seed dispersal may be a major ecological role of mesocarnivores. However, the general
features of seed dispersal by mesocarnivores are not well elucidated. Here, we review the …

Seed dispersal by frugivorous animals is important for plant mobility, regeneration and
persistence. Human‐caused landscape change is thought to disrupt seed dispersal, but …

Coyotes (Canis latrans) may be important seed dispersal vectors in urban areas, given their
omnivorous diet and wide-ranging movement patterns potentially able to bypass …

A wide variety of baits is used in camera trap studies, but few have been validated to obtain
optimal and comparable results. The present study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of …

Seed dispersal is a critical ecological function provided largely by vertebrate frugivores in
tropical forests. The seed dispersal events mediated by a frugivore species depend on the …

Faunal responses to wildfire depend on the fire effects on direct mortality, habitat structure,
and resource availability for animals. Despite the importance of large predators in terrestrial …
