Complementarity of epi- and endozoochory of plant seeds by free ranging donkeys (2005, methodology): “In addition, the logtransformed dataset of all zoochory samples together was used for Detrended Correspondence Analysis (DCA) (Hill and Gauch 1980), using the program CANOCO 4.5 (ter Braak and Smilauer 2003).”
Seed dispersal by spider monkeys and its importance in the maintenance of neotropical rain-forest diversity (2006, background): “…by vertebrate frugivores and most trees have fruits whose morphological features have apparently evolved to facilitate dispersal by animals (Fleming et al. 1987, Frankie et al. 1974, Gautier-Hion et al. 1985, Howe & Smallwood 1982, Janson 1983, Link & Stevenson 2004, Tabarelli & Peres 2002).”
Role of nurse plants in Araucaria Forest expansion over grassland in south Brazil (2006, background): “In regions with high rainfall levels a major proportion of plant species have diaspores (fruits and/or seeds) dispersed by animals (Howe & Smallwood 1982; Tabarelli & Peres 2002 ).”
Prospects for biodiversity conservation in the Atlantic Forest: Lessons from aging human-modified landscapes (2010, background): “Despite the variation of species occurrence and species-specific response across taxa, many species and entire functional groups are missing from early to intermediate secondary forest patches (Tabarelli and Peres, 2002; Silva et al., 2007; Liebsch et al., 2008; Faria et al., 2009), exotic tree mono”
Variation of seed dispersal spectrum of woody plants across a rainfall gradient in north-eastern Brazil (2003, background): “Compared to the surrounding Atlantic forest, where vertebrate-dispersed species can reach over 90% of all tree and shrub species (Tabarelli & Peres, 2002), seed dispersal mediated by vertebrates was much less common in the caatinga vegetation.”
Biased seed rain in forest edges: Evidence from the Brazilian Atlantic forest (2006, background): “Third, seed species were further classified within five classes of seed size: (1) very small 1–3 mm in length; (2) small 3.1– 6 mm; (3) medium-sized 6.1–15 mm; (4) large 15.1–30 mm; and (5) very large >30 mm in length as proposed by Tabarelli and Peres (2002).”
Natural Regeneration in Plantations of Native Trees in Lowland Brazilian Atlantic Forest: Community Structure, Diversity, and Dispersal Syndromes (2011, methodology): “Each zoochorous species was then classified according to its fruit or seed size, in the following four categories described by Tabarelli and Peres (2002): smaller than 0.6 cm in length; 0.6–1.5; 1.6–3.0 cm; and longer than 3.0 cm. Data on dispersal syndromes and the size of propagules were obtained…”
Old-Growth Forest Definitions: a Pragmatic View (2009, background): “The spatial dimension may also become important in highly fragmented landscapes, where the natural course of succession is impeded by dispersal limitation of late successional species (e.g. Tabarelli and Peres 2002 ).”
Functional attributes change but functional richness is unchanged after fragmentation of Brazilian Atlantic forests (2014, background): “…to the morphological and physical adaptations of trees in their role as food resources, their dispersal and in carbon storage and forest structure (Tabarelli & Peres 2002; Bolmgren & Eriksson 2005; Laurance et al. 2006a,b; Bongers et al. 2009; Moran & Catterall 2010; Tabarelli et al. 2010).”
The 'few winners and many losers' paradigm revisited: Emerging prospects for tropical forest biodiversity (2012, background): “…that occur predominantly among old-growth tree taxa: emergent strata, slow growth rate, large seeds, floral resources associated with specialized pollinators, seed dispersal by large vertebrates, and mast-fruiting strategy (Laurance et al., 1997; Tabarelli and Peres, 2002; Tabarelli et al., 2010a).”
Biodiversity, species interactions and ecological networks in a fragmented world (2012, background): “danceof tree species responds tohabitat fragmentation (Fægri andvanderPijl, 1979;Montoya et al., 2008; Tabarelli and Peres, 2002; Tabarelli et al., 1999).”
Forest fragmentation differentially affects seed dispersal of large and small-seeded tropical trees (2007, background): “In contrast, small seeded plants may sustain viable populations in or across forest fragments (Silva and Tabarelli, 2000; Tabarelli and Peres, 2002).”
Historical climate modelling predicts patterns of current biodiversity in the Brazilian Atlantic forest (2008, background): “Increasing attention to conservation and population monitoring has recently been given to Pernambuco’s centre of endemism (da Silva & Tabarelli, 2000, 2001; Tabarelli & da Silva, 2002; Tabarelli & Peres, 2002; Uchoa Neto & Tabarelli, 2002; Tabarelli et al., 2004).”
