Bird diet reveals matrix foraging and drives quantitative seed dispersal effectiveness in recovering Neotropical forests

2025-08-16

Abstract excerpt

Fruit-eating birds play a vital role in seed dispersal across fragmented and regenerating landscapes, shaping forest recovery. Simultaneously, human disturbance influences early successional forest communities by favoring habitat-generalist birds and facilitating the spread of exotic plants. To evaluate quantitative seed dispersal effectiveness (SDE) and identify bird-consumed plants in these novel communities, we...
