Habitat fragmentation narrows the distribution of avian functional traits associated with seed dispersal in tropical forest

Habitat fragmentation narrows the distribution of avian functional traits associated with seed dispersal in tropical forest

Land-use change influences biodiversity in non-random ways, affecting some species and functional groups more than others, with potential implications for the loss or degradation of important ecological processes, such as seed dispersal. Here we investigate the effect of patch-size reduction on the...
