The mutualism–antagonism continuum in Neotropical palm–frugivore interactions: from interaction outcomes to ecosystem dynamics
C Marques Dracxler, WD Kissling - Biological Reviews, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Frugivory, that is feeding on fruits, pulp or seeds by animals, is usually considered a
mutualism when interactions involve seed dispersal, and an antagonism when it results in …

[HTML][HTML] Frugivore-fruit size relationships between palms and mammals reveal past and future defaunation impacts
Mammalian frugivores are critical seed dispersers, but many are under threat of extinction.
Futhermore, the impact of past and future defaunation on plant assemblages has yet to be …
