Geographical variation in diaspore traits of an ant‐dispersed plant (Helleborus foetidus): are ant community composition and diaspore traits correlated? (2002, background): “…without knowledge of spatial and temporal variation of the resultant selection pressures (Thompson & Pellmyr 1992; Thompson 1994; Travis 1996; Brody 1997; Gómez & Zamora 2000), since this could either limit or enhance the degree to which plant species may become adapted to their mutualists.”
Remnant shrubs in Mediterranean semi-arid steppes: effects of shrub size, abiotic factors and species identity on understorey richness and occurrence (2005, background): “This result also suggests that, in the study area, the different sprouting shrubs may be functionally equivalent (sensu Zamora, 2002), at least regarding their effects on understorey species richness.”
The openness of a flower and its number of flower-visitor species (2007, background): “Generalists are common, not just in pollination, but overall in ecological webs (Polis & Strong, 1996; Zamora, 2000).”
The spatial scale of plant-animal interactions: effects of resource availability and habitat structure (2011, background): “In this sense, redundancy has been defined as an overlap in ecological functions (e.g., seed dispersal) driven by different animals interacting with plants in the same spatiotemporal context (Zamora 2000).”
Differences among ant species in plant protection are related to production of extrafloral nectar and degree of leaf herbivory (2017, background): “And fourth, complementary species can interact to enhance overall protection in a synergic way (Zamora, 2000).”
Consequences of the Argentine ant, Linepithema humile (Mayr), invasion on pollination of Euphorbia characias (L.) (Euphorbiaceae) (2005, background): “Most animal–plant interactions are not species-specific relationships (Dafni and O’Toole, 1994; Gomez and Zamora, 1999; Herrera, 1995; Zamora, 2000).”
Variation in seed dispersal effectiveness: the redundancy of consequences in diversified tropical frugivore assemblages (2016, unknown): “However, we still have a limited understanding of how variation in the quantity and quality components of seed dispersal effectiveness translates into functional equivalence of species in mutualistic assemblages (Zamora 2000).”
How does plant richness affect pollinator richness and temporal stability of flower visits (2008, background): “Enhanced pollinator richness should also increase functional redundancy, so that potential extinctions may be compensated by remaining species (Yachi and Loreau 1999, Zamora 2000).”
PAPER Functional relationships beyond species richness patterns: trait matching in plant-bird mutualisms across scales (2014, background): “participate in the interaction (Zamora, 2000), whereas special-”
