Climate change is forcing the redistribution of life on Earth at an unprecedented velocity,.
Migratory birds are thought to help plants to track climate change through long-distance …

Forbidden links are defined as pairwise interactions that are prevented by the biological
traits of the species. We focus here on the neglected importance of intraspecific trait variation …

Mediterranean ecosystems are rich in wildlife species and habitats. In the last decades
human pressure is increasing in lowland and coastal areas, while mountainous and island …

Seed dispersal constitutes a pivotal process in an increasingly fragmented world, promoting
population connectivity, colonization and range shifts in plants. Unveiling how multiple …

There is growing interest in understanding the functional outcomes of species interactions in
ecological networks. For many mutualistic networks, including pollination and seed …

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

Anthropogenic habitat disturbance is a strong biodiversity change driver that compromises
not only the species persistence but also the ecological interactions in which they are …

Abstract Aim The Mediterranean region is often regarded as a crossroads where species of
various origins meet. However, the biogeographical relationships between this region and …

Seed dispersal by frugivores is a key ecological process underpinning the functionality of
woodland patches and their capacity to maintain biodiversity in agricultural landscapes …

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