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 …

Despite once being described as common, digging mammal species have been lost from
the Australian landscape over the last 200 years. Around half of digging mammal species …

ABSTRACT A mechanistic understanding of seed movement and survival is important both
for the development of theoretical models of plant population dynamics, spatial spread, and …

Many studies of postdispersal seed fate use seed removal as an index of seed predation.
However, following primary seed dispersal, some seeds are transported intact by ants, dung …

Modelling of climate change‐induced species range shifts has generally addressed
migration limitations inadequately, often assuming 'null'migration or instantaneous …

The role of frugivorous vertebrates as seed dispersers in tropical rainforests has received
much attention over the past 30 years (Estrada and Fleming, 1986; Fleming and Estrada …

In moving seeds from one location to another, dispersers define the ecological context that a
plant will experience throughout its lifetime. Because seed deposition sites may benefit one …

Ecological restoration is increasingly applied in tropical forests to mitigate biodiversity loss
and recover ecosystem functions. In restoration ecology, functional richness, rather than …

The role a small marsupial, the woylie Bettongia penicillata, might play in the recruitment
and regeneration of Western Australian sandalwood Santalum spicatum through its seed …

A mechanistic understanding of fire-driven seedling recruitment is essential for effective
conservation management of fire-prone vegetation, such as South African fynbos, especially …
