Behind the paper

Claudio Açaí Bracho-Estévanez: Plant traits determine seed retention times in frugivorous birds: Implications for long-distance seed dispersal.

In our latest post, Claudio Açaí Bracho-Estévanez shares with us how intricate the relationship between producer and consumer is! Claudio explains the beauty behind their paper: ‘Plant traits determine seed retention times in frugivorous birds: Implications for long-distance seed dispersal‘, which explores how seed size also serves as an important factor for how long seeds can be retained and dispersed in frugivorous birds!   About the … Continue reading Claudio Açaí Bracho-Estévanez: Plant traits determine seed retention times in frugivorous birds: Implications for long-distance seed dispersal.
