Seed dispersal, or the movement of diaspores away from the parent location, is a multiscale,
multipartner process that depends on the interaction of plant life history with vector …

Plant–animal interactions are fundamentally important in ecosystems, but have often been
ignored by studies of climate-change impacts on biodiversity. Here, we present a trait-based …

Long-distance dispersal (LDD) beyond the range of a species is an important driver of
ecological and evolutionary patterns, but insufficient attention has been given to …

As the single opportunity for plants to move, seed dispersal has an important impact on plant
fitness, species distributions and patterns of biodiversity. However, models that predict …

Understanding mechanisms that generate range limits is central to knowing why species are
found where they are and how they will respond to environmental change. There is growing …

The encroachment of woody plants into grasslands is a global phenomenon with
implications for biodiversity and ecosystem function. Understanding and predicting the pace …

Ecological restoration is essential for maintaining biodiversity in the face of dynamic, global
changes in climate, human land use, and disturbance regimes. Effective restoration requires …

Conceptual gaps and imprecise terms and definitions may obscure the breadth of plant–
animal dispersal relationships involved in directed dispersal. The term 'directed'indicates …

Tropical secondary forests are increasingly important for carbon sequestration and
biodiversity conservation worldwide; yet, we still cannot accurately predict community …

The yellow-legged gull is an opportunistic and generalist bird that has colonised urban
areas, where it has found very favourable trophic resources but also causes disturbance to …
