TL;DR: The relationship between foliar damage and reproduction varied substantially among systems, suggesting that herbivore damage is not a reliable surrogate for fitness consequences of ant protection and raise several questions to guide future research on ant-plant protection mutualisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Habitat fragmentation disrupts a plant-disperser mutualism in the temperate forest of South America
TL;DR: Mistletoe populations in fragmented forests exhibited a deficiency in juveniles because of a lack of recruitment, which may compromise the survival of mistletoe populations.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tradeoffs, competition, and coexistence in eastern deciduous forest ant communities

TL;DR: Ant species appear to temporally partition foraging times such that behaviourally dominant species foraged more intensely at night, while foraging by subdominant species peaked during the day, with one notable exception.
