Increasing Awareness of Ecosystem Services Provided by Bats (2012, background): “More than 920 species of birds also provide pollination services worldwide (Whelan et al., 2008).”
Roles of Raptors in a Changing World: From Flagships to Providers of Key Ecosystem Services (2016, background): “Avian scavengers as providers of supporting, regulating and cultural services Birds are an ideal study models in ecosystem services research (Şekercioğlu et al., 2004; Şekercioğlu, 2006; Whelan et al., 2008; Green and Elmberg, 2014).”
Scatter-hoarding corvids as seed dispersers for oaks and pines: A review of a widely distributed mutualism and its utility to habitat restoration (2016, background): “Other seeds have structures that allow them to adhere to the exterior of their disperser (epizoochory), which tend to be furry or woolly animals (Will and Tackenberg 2008).”
Ecological functions of neotropical amphibians and reptiles: a review (2015, background): “However, they are much less studied than mammals (Kunz et al. 2011) and birds (Sekercioglu 2006, Whelan et al. 2008), and scientific knowledge of their role in ecosystem functioning is inconsistent and incomplete (Urbina-Cardona 2008, Valencia-Aguilar et al. 2013).”
High Bird Species Diversity in Structurally Heterogeneous Farmland in Western Kenya (2012, background): “Given the pivotal ecological roles played by birds in both forest and farmland ecosystems, notably seed dispersal and pest control (Sekercioglu 2006, Whelan et al. 2008), it is necessary to understand the distribution patterns of different functional groups of birds across landscapes.”
