Interested in seed-dispersal, ecosystem functioning & restoration | Brazilian, atlantic forest native | PhD @sgn.one | she/her
This work was done together with great people @mschleuning.bsky.social, @jalbrecht.bsky.social , @btinoco.bsky.social and others :)
It is part of the @reassemblynet.bsky.social, where we study how interactions recover after disturbance.
And carried out at @sgn.one

Why it matters:
Animal-mediated seed dispersal is essential for the natural regeneration of tropical forests. 🕊️
Our results show that seed-dispersal interactions often don’t fully recover before secondary forests are cut again. This means the potential of natural regeneration is being undermined.

Some other key findings:
▫️ Recovery is slower and less predictable in poorly connected patches.
▫️ The functional diversity of animal frugivores takes almost 40 years to recover, delaying the re-establishment of interactions.
▫️ Remnant trees play a key role in triggering forest recovery.

Why it matters:
These results can help guide restoration efforts: providing a high diversity of fruit resources in degraded patches can be crucial to improve forest regeneration. Also, planting small islands of resources in highly fragmented landscapes can improve connectivity between patches.

These results also depend on network specialization: in general, higher specialization leads to lower diversity of seeds being dispersed into habitat patches.

Some key findings:
Resource diversity in a patch increases both seed number and diversity, but it is most significant between ~50 to 100 meters.
When between-patch distance is around 250 meters or more, connectivity relies on rare long-distance dispersal by large birds.
