• The role of frugivory in the diversification of bats in the Neotropics (2012, background): “…but also potentially increase the distribution ranges of the plant species (Albrecht et al., 2007; Kelm et al., 2008), positively influence the germination of seeds (Heer et al., 2010) and probably also influence seedling recruitment of species with both small and large seeds (Melo et al., 2009).”
• Responses of Tropical Bats to Habitat Fragmentation, Logging, and Deforestation (2015, background): “For instance, small frugivorous bats disperse fewer large seeds in small, disturbed compared to large, undisturbed forest patches (Melo et al. 2009), suggesting a negative impact of disturbance on the dispersal of larger-seeded trees.”
