Ecological disturbance alters the adaptive benefits of social ties
Extreme weather events radically alter ecosystems. When ecological damage persists,
selective pressures on individuals can change, leading to phenotypic adjustments. For …

Seed dispersal effectiveness by a large‐bodied invasive species in defaunated landscapes
Animal‐dispersed plants are increasingly reliant on effective seed dispersal provided by
small‐bodied frugivores in defaunated habitats. In the Neotropical region, the non‐native …
