Happy to share this important study by @annarl.bsky.social using her newly collected data in Ecuadorian Chocó forest @reassemblynet.bsky.social and a Bayesian model to estimate the recovery time of seed dispersal by animals after deforestation 🧪🌎
Excited to share that the second paper of my PhD is out in @currentbiology.bsky.social 🍈🦜🍒🐒🍊🐿️
We show that the functional diversity of seed-dispersal interactions in tropical forests takes circa 20 years to recover after deforestation.

Landim et al. show that seed-dispersal interactions require about two decades to functionally
recover in tropical forests in Ecuador, but the recovery time of seed-dispersal functions
is delayed in pa...
