More fruits, more frugivores, but not necessarily more visits: findings from two tropical plant-avian frugivore communities

Rintu Mandal, Himanshu Lad, Natasha Desai…·Rohit Naniwadekar

The paper examines the relationship between fruit availability, frugivore abundance, and visitation rates in two tropical forests, finding that higher fruit availability does not always lead to higher visitation rates.

Frugivore species richness influences dietary specialisation and network properties in Asian wet tropical forests

Rintu Mandal, Abhishek Gopal, Arpitha Jayanth…·Rohit Naniwadekar

This study examines how frugivore species richness affects dietary specialisation and plant-frugivore network properties in tropical forests.

Effects of frugivore species pool and seed size on the diversity and functional composition of frugivores visiting fruiting trees

Rohit Naniwadekar, Abhishek Gopal, Rintu Mandal…·Jahnavi Joshi

The paper examines how frugivore species richness and seed size affect frugivore visitation and functional traits on fruiting trees, finding that seed size has a stronger influence than species richness.
