Defaunation and biomass collapse of mammals in the largest Atlantic forest remnant (2017, background): “These species play a fundamental role as seed dispersers and their local extirpation may translate into the lower recruitment and dispersal distances, leading to long-term declines in plant diversity (Galetti et al., 2006; Arroyo-Rodr ıguez et al., 2007; Donatti, Guimaraes & Galetti, 2009; Stevenson”
Fruiting phenology of palms and trees in an Atlantic rainforest land-bridge island. (2009, background): “, 1996, 2004), and are consumed by scatter-hoarding rodents (Donatti, 2004; Galetti et al., 2006).”
Hunting reduces recruitment of primate-dispersed trees in Amazonian Peru (2008, background): “Similarly, combined effects of forest fragmentation and hunting in the Atlantic forest of Brazil depress seedling densities of the large-seeded endemic palm (Astrocaryum aculeatissimum) due to reduced densities of its main seed disperser (Dasyprocta) (Galetti et al., 2006).”
Biodiversity, species interactions and ecological networks in a fragmented world (2012, background): “In turn, important animal–plant interactions can be affected (Aizen and Feinsinger, 1994a,b; Cunningham, 2000; Fleury and Galetti, 2006; Galetti et al., 2006; Jordano and Schupp, 2000; Wright and Duber, 2001).”
Forest fragmentation differentially affects seed dispersal of large and small-seeded tropical trees (2007, background): “For all of these studies, fragmentation (and sometimes hunting) reduces seed dispersal for both large (Cordeiro and Howe, 2003; Cramer et al., 2007) and small-seeded (Galetti et al., 2006) endemic species.”
Theory meets reality: How habitat fragmentation research has transcended island biogeographic theory (2008, background): “Forest fragments in the tropics are often selectively logged, degraded by ground fires, and overhunted—changes that can dramatically alter fragment ecology (Cullen et al., 2000; Peres, 2001; Cochrane and Laurance, 2002; Galetti et al., 2006; Peres and Michalski, 2006).”
Seed predation of Araucaria angustifolia (Araucariaceae) in the Brazilian Araucaria Forest: influence of deposition site and comparative role of small and ‘large’ mammals (2008, background): “Agoutis are generally subject to higher hunting pressure in neotropical forests (Cullen et al. 2000) and their densities are reduced in fragmented areas (Galetti et al. 2006).”
Natural Regeneration in Plantations of Native Trees in Lowland Brazilian Atlantic Forest: Community Structure, Diversity, and Dispersal Syndromes (2011, background): “Furthermore, the low abundance of large mammals in the area (Galetti et al. 2006) may contribute to the small number of species with larger-sized propagules in the natural regeneration.”
Removal of palm fruits and ecosystem engineering in palm stands by white-lipped peccaries (Tayassu pecari) and other frugivores in an isolated Atlantic Forest fragment (2009, background): “Similarly, alterations of the frugivore fauna have important consequences for palm species, e.g., when seed predation or seed dispersal are aVected (Silman et al. 2003; Galetti et al. 2006).”
Priority areas for the conservation of Atlantic forest large mammals (2009, background): “In the neotropics, most medium to large-bodied mammals are important herbivores, seed dispersers and predators shaping patterns of plant distribution and diversity (Wright, 2003; Galetti et al., 2006; Stoner et al., 2007).”
Beyond species loss: The extinction of ecological interactions in a changing world (2015, background): “excelsa and agouti populations, but also for the entire scatter-hoarding dispersal service of other largeseeded tree species (Peres et al. 2003; Galetti et al. 2006).”
