Camargo, Paulo H. S. A. [UNESP]; Carlo, Tomás A.; Brancalion, Pedro H. S.; Pizo, Marco A. [UNESP]Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:44:37Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2022-02-01; The diversity of tropical forests is strongly shaped by mutualistic interactions involving plants and frugivores that disperse their seeds. However, it is little known how decreases in the diversity of frugivores can affect seed dispersal patterns, plant community composition and species' coexistence in...

Crestani, Ana C. [UNESP]; Pizo, Marco A. [UNESP]; Fontanella, Antônio B. A. [UNESP]; Herrera M, L. Gerardo; Cruz-Neto, Ariovaldo P. [UNESP]Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:45:27Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-01-01; In the Neotropical region, euphonias (Euphonia spp., Fringillidae) are the quintessential example of specialized bird frugivores, making the bulk of feeding visits to certain mistletoes (Phoradendron spp., Santalaceae) and epiphytes in the genus Rhipsalis (Cactaceae), whose fruits have high water and lo...
Intra-tropical migration and wintering areas of Fork-tailed Flycatchers (Tyrann...
Jahn, Alex E. [UNESP]; Seavy, Nathaniel E.; Bejarano, Vanesa [UNESP]; Guzmán, Marcela Benavides [UNESP]; Provinciato, Ivan Celso Carvalho [UNESP]Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:04:54Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2016-06-01; Fork-tailed Flycatchers (Tyrannus s. savana) breed from central to southern South America from September to January, migrating to northern South America to spend the non-breeding season. However, little is known of the migratory routes, rate, and timing of migration of those that breed in Brazil. In 201...
A floodplain with artificially reversed flood pulse is important for migratory ...
Robinson, Vivian [UNESP]; Pizo, Marco A. [UNESP]Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:07:26Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2017-09-01; Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq); Wetlands are increasingly scarce and the construction of water-flow regulation structures is predicted to increase in the coming years. The correct management of these impacted areas may play an important role in the conservation of w...
Anthropogenic disturbances affect the interactions between ants and fleshy frui...
Oliveira, Paulo S.; Christianini, Alexander V.; Bieber, Ana G. D.; Pizo, Marco A. [UNESP]Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:08:58Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2017-01-01; Introduction The main ecological function of fleshy fruits is probably advertisement, such that they look or smell attractive enough to entice a particular type of animal (frugivore) to eat them (Schaefer & Ruxton, 2011). By feeding on the nutritious fleshy portion of fruits and seeds (pericarp, pulp, a...
Female neophobia predicts the use of buildings as nesting sites in a Neotropica...
Batisteli, Augusto F.; Pizo, Marco A. [UNESP]; Sarmento, HugoMade available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:48:21Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2022-01-01; Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq); Neophobia (i.e. the degree of avoidance to novel situations) is a personality trait that may predict the ability to exploit new resources, which potentially affects the success of settlement of urban animal populations. Despite the in...
Abundance predominates over niche factors as determinant of the frequency of in...
Pizo, Marco A. [UNESP]; Fontanella, Antonio B. [UNESP]; Carlo, Tomás A.; González-Castro, AarónMade available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:51:17Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2022-01-01; Neutral and niche factors influence the structure of frugivory and seed dispersal networks. While the former refers to the abundance of interacting species, niche factors refer to traits that mediate interactions between species (e.g., morphology). The challenge is to unravel in which circumstances one ...
Effects of the association between Mimus saturninus and Furnarius rufus on thei...
Piassi, Priscila M. [UNESP]; Batisteli, Augusto F.; Gussoni, Carlos O. A.; Pizo, Marco A. [UNESP]Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:52:50Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2022-01-01; Several studies on the social behavior of birds have shown two main benefits of social groups: optimization of foraging and decreasing the risk of predation. We tested whether the association between rufous hornero (Furnarius rufus) and the chalk-browed mockingbird (Mimus saturninus) affects the foragin...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2022-02-01; Seed dispersal by animals is one of the most important ecological processes in tropical forests, entailing millions of years of evolutionary adaptations of plants and frugivorous animals forming networks of interactions that, ultimately, contribute to the resilience of such forests. We analyze 29 seed d...
