Deforested habitats lack of seed dispersal; 2010-2012;Bolivia
The study was conducted in a tropical montane forest in the Bolivian Andes near the town of Chulumani during two years from 2010-2012. We selected eight study sites. At each... -
Seed shadow and recruitment patterns of Clusia species;2010-2012; Bolivia
The field work was carried out in a tropical montane forest in the Bolivian Andes, near the town of Chulumani. We recorded the seed-deposition and recruitment pattern of Clusia... -
Seed dispersal networks and functional diversity; 2010-2011; Bolivia
We carried out this study in a tropical mountain forest in the Bolivian Andes nearby the town of Chulumani from June 2010 to February 2012. We recorded plant-frugivore... -
Preference and Constancy in foraging behavour of Cape sugarbirds
These data compile three datasets: i) foraging interaction of cape sugarbirds with 10 Protea species ii) spatially explicit maps of plant transitions iii) maps of random sampled... -
Pollination experiments on Protea species, Western Cape, South Africa
We conducted pollination experiments on 7 Protea species (Protea compacta, P. eximia, P. laurifolia, P. longifolia, P. magnifica, P. punctata, P. repens) in the Cape Fynbos,... -
Cape sugarbird & orange-breasted sunbird population and visitation on Protea ...
We estimated the population size of Cape sugarbirds and orange-breasted sunbirds in 26 study plots (200x200m, 110x110m core zone) and visitation rates of birds of the two... -
Effect of bracken vegetation and litter on seedling recruitment of Clusia spe...
We studied the effect of vegetation and litter removal of bracken (Pteridium arachnoideum) on seedling recruitment, survival and growth of three shade-tolerant Clusia species.... -
Seed-dispersal networks respond differently to resource effects in open and f...
While patterns in species diversity have been well studied across largescale environmental gradients, little is known about how species' interaction networks change in response... -
Direct and indirect effects of climate, human disturbance and plant traits on...
Aim: Climate change and an increase in human disturbance are major drivers of global biodiversity loss. Yet it is not clear to what extent their effects on animal communities... -
Colombian network and morphological traits of frugivores and plants
Colombian network and morphological traits of frugivores and plants This dataset was collected in the frame of the doctoral thesis of Marcia Carolina Munoz Neyra, in Colombia... -
Functional plant traits and demographic rates of Protea species in the Fynbos...
We set up 27 study plots of 120x120m with a 40m buffer zone in the Fynbos, Western Cape and mapped all Protea shrubs taller than 30cm with a highly precise dGPS; in total... -
Neighbourhood effects and demographic rates of Protea species, Fynbos, Cape F...
We set up 27 study plots (120x120m) in the Fynbos, Western Cape and mapped all Protea shrubs taller than 30cm. On 2157 focal plants of 22 Protea species on all sites (Protea... -
Gallegos et al. 2014 Secondary dispersal by ants promotes forest regeneration...
We studied the effects of secondary dispersal on seed predation, germination and seedling recruitment of the primarily bird-dispersed tree Clusia trochiformis in a tropical... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
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... -
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...
