Although frequently studied in captivity, less is known about wild Iguana iguana. Herein behavior of riparian I. iguana was collected alongside climat......
Diverse assemblages of seed-dispersing megafauna once existed in Asian rainforests, but are now almost solely represented by elephants. Asia's rhinos ......
Ant-plants have been extensively used as model systems in the study of the evolution and ecology of mutualisms. Using a N-15 isotope labeling experime......
The substrate use by animals may influence both their morphology and diet. Species of the genus Chironius are among the most conspicuous frog-eating, ......
Seed dispersal and predation by animals often drive plant regeneration. In tropical savannas, such as the Cerrado of Brazil, fire is also a key proces......
Vegetative and reproductive growth of subtropical and tropical forests plays an important role in regulating carbon cycle and maintaining food web dyn......
Although livestock have been historically associated with land conversion and biodiversity loss, well-managed cattle grazing has been reported to cont......
The aim of this study was to understand how communities of adult and juvenile (seedlings and saplings) woody plants were impacted by fire and the 2014......
Biological assemblages are often predictable from knowledge of natural environmental heterogeneity and change in response to anthropogenic disturbance......
The Cerrado-Amazonia transition harbors forest and savanna formations under the influence of pronounced climate seasonality; however, the water use st......
Seedling recruitment, community assembly, and forest regeneration, while receiving substantial attention in tropical rain forests, have received littl......
Cross-kingdom interactions with plants were frequently related to microbial pathogens and herbivores. Yet, mutualistic interactions that involve multi......
Nest location is a decision that presumably affects predation probability, thus, it directly impacts offspring survival. Those locations could be near......
In disturbed forests, Atelidae primates, such as howler monkeys, are known to play a key role in the dynamics of secondary succession. However, little......
Biological invasions are among the main drivers of biodiversity losses, which can be caused by alterations in habitat structure. Animal-plant mutualis......
