Abstract Long‐distance seed dispersal is a crucial process determining the distribution of plant biodiversity and, therefore, major interest in biogeography and macroecology. A recent data article on Global Ecology Biogeography presented database estimated seed‐dispersal distance classes for European flora, where are defined by morphological syndrome species associated with single mode. We explain how this overlooks literature unreliable capacity syndromes predicting key modes involved...
Abstract Seed dispersal by frugivorous animals is a key process for plant populations and communities. When frugivores consume fruits, seeds are temporarily retained inside their guts until seed deposition. Hence, information on retention times essential to estimate seed‐dispersal distances. Although it well known that affected the body size of frugivores, there an important knowledge gap effects species traits, such as pulp content. Here, we comprehensively address whether which traits...
Abstract Motivation Plant establishment is the result of sequential demographic processes, namely post‐dispersal seed survival, germination, seedling survival and sapling survival. These processes can be quantified as transition probabilities between life stages through field experiments, their product provides an overall probability. This information essential to understand demography within populations plant colonization potential under global change scenarios. The Mediterranean Region...
Entender cómo se distribuye la biodiversidad terrestre y los tipos de vegetación en relación con el clima es fundamental ecología. Se han desarrollado diversos sistemas bioclimáticos para clasificar las zonas vida del planeta. Entre ellos, sistema clasificación bioclimática global Rivas-Martínez permite categorizar territorio pisos a partir variables climáticas. De este modo, continuos climáticos expresan como categorías discretas que resultan útiles hacer inferencias sobre comunidades...
Yellow-legged Larus michahellis, Audouin's Ichthyaetus audouinii and Black-headed Gulls Chroicocephalus ridibundus are common species in the western Mediterranean where they coincide spatially temporally.Competition for food resources leads to agonistic interactions, which we predict will have a hierarchical structure following Lanchester's linear law.We recorded behaviour of these three feeding non-feeding contexts wild populations city Barcelona its metropolitan area.We found both...
