Beyond the forest canopy: contrasting strategies of frugivory and seed dispersal across tropical forest-savanna-grassland gradients

2025-08-20

Abstract excerpt

Frugivory and seed dispersal play critical roles in plant reproduction, population dynamics, ecosystem functioning, while contributing to ecological restoration and climate change mitigation. However, current research largely focused on tropical forests, leaving significant gaps in our understanding of these processes in open biomes such as tropical savannas and grasslands. Using a database of seed dispersal syndr...
