Journal ArticleDOI
Mistletoe seed dispersal by a marsupial
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe an exclusive association that involves the dispersal of the sticky seeds of a mistletoe by a marsupial, Dromiciops australis, endemic to this region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Birds as suppliers of seed dispersal in temperate ecosystems: conservation guidelines from real-world landscapes.
TL;DR: To manage Seed dispersal for temperate ecosystem preservation or restoration one should consider abundance of frugivorous birds as a surrogate of landscape-scale seed dispersal and an indicator of patch quality for the dispersal function; woody cover and fruit resource availability as key landscape features that drive seedfall patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
The spatial scale of plant-animal interactions: effects of resource availability and habitat structure
TL;DR: The spatial scales at which two plant–animal interactions operate are assessed and the environmental factors underpinning these operational scales are disentangled to help understand how and why different interactions perform in the same environmental setting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seed dispersal by a frugivorous marsupial shapes the spatial scale of a mistletoe population
TL;DR: The spatial role of seed dispersal in Tristerix corymbosus, a mistletoe dispersed exclusively in the temperate forests of Patagonia by the endemic marsupial Dromiciops gliroides, is assessed, with results suggesting that similar effects of scale shaping by seed dispersers may be generalized among plants in which there is a sharp spatial match between fruits and frugivores.
Journal ArticleDOI
The potential key seed-dispersing role of the arboreal marsupial Dromiciops gliroides
TL;DR: It is suggested that this marsupial D. gliroides may have an important role as a seed disperser in the temperate forest of South America, which might offset a scarcity of frugivorous bird species.
