TL;DR: These findings suggest that tropical protected areas are often intimately linked ecologically to their surrounding habitats, and that a failure to stem broad-scale loss and degradation of such habitats could sharply increase the likelihood of serious biodiversity declines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Closing the seed dispersal loop
Benjamin C. Wang,Thomas B. Smith +1 more
TL;DR: The continued synergy between seed dispersal research and the study of plant demography should help researchers link seed dispersed seeds and seedlings back to adult vegetation structure, closing the Seed dispersal loop.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Plight of Large Animals in Tropical Forests and the Consequences for Plant Regeneration
S. Joseph Wright,Kathryn E. Stoner,Noelle G. Beckman,Richard T. Corlett,Rodolfo Dirzo,Helene C. Muller-Landau,Gabriela Nuñez-Iturri,Carlos A. Peres,Benjamin C. Wang +8 more
TL;DR: A special section is introduced that addresses the bushmeat or wild meat crisis, its direct impact on game species, and its indirect impact on plants in tropical forests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hunting of Mammals Reduces Seed Removal and Dispersal of the Afrotropical Tree Antrocaryon klaineanum (Anacardiaceae)
TL;DR: This study provides strong evidence that loss of dispersal agents can lead to reduced seed removal and loss of seed dispersal, disrupting the seed disperseal cycle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diet selection is related to breeding status in two frugivorous hornbill species of Central Africa

TL;DR: It is concluded that hornbills actively select fruit based on nutritional concentration and mineral concentration and that the indices developed here are useful for assessing frugivore diet over time.
