There is growing realization that intraspecific variation in seed dispersal can have important
ecological and evolutionary consequences. However, we do not have a good understanding …

Animal movement and behaviour is fundamental for ecosystem functioning. The process of
seed dispersal by frugivorous animals is a showcase for this paradigm since their behaviour …

Knowledge of the spatial scale of the dispersal service provided by important seed
dispersers (ie common and/or keystone species) is essential to our understanding of their …

Although seed-dispersal networks are increasingly used to infer the functioning of
ecosystems, few studies have investigated the link between the properties of these networks …

Context Landscape structure can affect seed dispersal, but the spatial scale at which such
effect is maximized (scale of effect, SoE) is unknown. Objectives We assessed patterns and …

Modelling seed dispersal by animals seems straightforward; we need a way to keep track of
the position on the animal through time and a clock for how long seeds travel with it …

Land‐use changes are expected to affect plant–disperser conditional mutualisms through
changes in animal behavior. We analyzed the oak–rodent conditional mutualism in …

Despite the acknowledged importance of frugivores as seed dispersal agents we still lack a
general understanding of the mechanisms by which these animals could shape plant …

Biota plays a central role as sources of spatial heterogeneity, having great potential to define
ecological processes and patterns in the landscape. Mistletoes are fleshy‐fruited parasitic …

Dehesas are savanna-like, oak woodlands with a high conservation value that are
threatened by chronic regeneration failure. Acorn dispersal by Eurasian jays (Garrulus …
