Morphological trait matching shapes plantfrugivore networks across the Andes.
Interactions between resource and consumer species are organized in ecological networks. Species interactions in these networks are influenced by the functional traits of the... -
Effects of phylogeny and geography on ecomorphological traits in passerine bi...
Aim: Closely related species are often morphologically similar due to their shared evolutionary history. This similarity can restrict their geographic distribution, as processes... -
Phylogenetic and functional diversity data; birds, plants, and scripts
This dataset contains the morphological traits of 67 frugivorous birds and 47 fleshy-fruited plants that were linked via fruit removal in Colombia, Risaralda (National Park... -
Migratory behaviour in birds: A classification across all living species
The uploaded dataset contains a classification of migratory behaviour for all 10596 extant species of birds (Aves). The dataset focuses on seasonal migration, i.e. movements... -
Seedlings of 22 fleshy-fruited plants, in the Colombian Andes
In the Andes of Colombia (Cordillera Central, in Risaralda) we established ten plots (100 x 20 m), along an elevational gradient from 1,800 m up to 2,700 m above sea level. Each... -
Fruit removal by seed-dispersing animals in the Colombian Andes
Fruit removal. This data set was collected during the period February-November 2012 along an altitudinal gradient in the Andes of Colombia (Cordillera Central, in Risaralda). We... -
Plant-Bird_SeasonalNetworks&PlantTraits_2009-2010_ManuPeru
Interactions between resource and consumer species result in complex ecological networks. The overall structure of these networks is often stable in space and time, but little... -

The file contains native and alien ranges of 1380 species worldwide obtained from the Global Invasive Species Database (http://www.iucngisd.org/gisd/) and CABI Invasive Species... -
Plant and bird interactions in Colombia
Data was gathered between February 2012 and February 2013 in Risaralda (Cordillera Central), Colombia. Fieldwork was carried out in two protected areas (Santuario de Flora y... -
Global Alien Species First Record Database
The Global Alien Species First Record Database represents a compilation of first records of alien species across taxonomic groups and regions. A first record denotes the year... -
Plant-bird_networks_2009-2010_ManuPeru
We sampled weighted plant-bird interaction networks at two sites in the Manú Biosphere Reserve in the Andes of south-east Peru: Wayqecha (13.2S, 71.6W, 3000 m, upper montane... -
Introduced and invasive species of Burkina Faso
The list of introduced and invasive species has been extracted from information on distribution and origin of the species as documented in the Catalogue des Plantes Vasculaires... -

Functional structure and specialization in three tropical plant-hummingbird i...
Understanding causes of variation in multispecies assemblages along spatial environmental gradients is a long-standing research topic in ecology and biogeography. Ecological... -
Morphological traits determine specialization and resource use in plant-hummi...
Ecological communities are organized in complex ecological networks. Trait-based analyses of the structure of these networks in highly diversified species assemblages are... -
The genome of the basal agaricomycete Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous provides ...
Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous is a basal agaricomycete with uncertain taxonomic placement, known for its unique ability to produce astaxanthin, a carotenoid with antioxidant... -
Foraging preferences of hummingbirds on artificial and natural flowers; 2011-...
In plant-pollinator networks, the floral morphology of food plants is an important determinant of the interaction niche of pollinators. Studies on foraging preferences of... -
Gene Loss Rather Than Gene Gain Is Associated with a Host Jump from Monocots ...
Smut fungi are well-suited to investigate the ecology and evolution of plant pathogens, as they are strictly biotrophic, yet cultivable on media. Here we report the genome...
