Impacts of large herbivores on terrestrial ecosystems
Large herbivores play unique ecological roles and are disproportionately imperiled by
human activity. As many wild populations dwindle towards extinction, and as interest grows …

Cascading impacts of seed disperser loss on plant communities and ecosystems
Seed dispersal is key to the persistence and spread of plant populations. Because the
majority of plant species rely on animals to disperse their seeds, global change drivers that …

Mammal diversity will take millions of years to recover from the current biodiversity crisis
The incipient sixth mass extinction that started in the Late Pleistocene has already erased
over 300 mammal species and, with them, more than 2.5 billion y of unique evolutionary …

Synzoochory: the ecological and evolutionary relevance of a dual interaction
Synzoochory is the dispersal of seeds by seed-caching animals. The animal partner in this
interaction plays a dual role, acting both as seed disperser and seed predator. We propose …
