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.

The paper estimates hornbill abundance and habitat correlates in Kali Tiger Reserve, finding Malabar Grey Hornbills are most abundant and widely distributed, with encounter rates linked to food-tree density.

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

The paper compares the population and roosting ecology of an endemic lizard across different land-use types in the Western Ghats, finding higher densities in low-elevation forests than plantations.

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.

This study identifies knowledge gaps and conservation challenges in the Konkan region of Maharashtra through literature review and focus group discussions, highlighting threats like land-use change and climate change impacts.

This study examines how elevation and land use affect two endemic shrub frogs in the Western Ghats, finding elevation-specific distributions and negative impacts of agroforestry on population densities and body condition.
