Seed dispersal networks in tropical forest fragments: Area effects, remnant species, and interaction diversity

2020-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Seed dispersal interactions involve key ecological processes in tropical forests that help to maintain ecosystem functioning. Yet this functionality may be threatened by increasing habitat loss, defaunation, and fragmentation. However, generalist species, and their interactions, can benefit from the habitat change caused by human disturbance while more specialized interactions mostly disappear. Therefore, changes...
