| 2 | Altitudinal variation in the reproductive performance of the Mediterranean shrub Rhamnus lycioides L.显示文摘Aims Rhamnus lycioides L.subsp.Oleoides(Rhamnaceae)is a perennial shrub native to the Mediterranean Basin distributed along an altitudinal gradient,from sea level up to 1000 m a.s.l.The specific goals of our study were(i)to compare plant morphology between two contrasting populations,(ii)to determine the reproductive system of R.lycioides,quantifying the relative importance of insects and wind as pollen vectors,(iii)to test if pollen limitation differs between populations,(iv)to study the main factors influencing fruit set and(v)to compare plant reproductive performance(mass allocation to flowers,fruits and seeds)between the two habitats.Methods In the present study,we examined plant morphology and the reproductive performance of R.lycioides L.in contrasting environments in two populations located at the extremes of its altitudinal range in the island of Mallorca(Balearic Islands,Western Mediterranean Basin)along a 3-year period.Plant morphology,the relative importance of insects and wind as pollen vectors,the pollen limitation to seed production and the plant reproductive performance(mass allocation to flowers,fruits and seeds)were determined.Important Findings Rhamnus lycioides individuals showed a higher plant surface/plant height ratio at the mountain than at the coast.This species appeared to be ambophilous despite its inconspicuous flowers,although the relative importance of wind as a pollination vector was higher at the mountain than at the coastal site.Fruit set was much higher at the mountain,where pollen appeared to be a limiting factor.By contrast,fruit set was not limited by pollen availability at the coastal population,where resource(water and nutrients)limitation seemed to be more determining.Flower size was greater at the coast,in contrast to fresh fruit weight that was higher at the mountain.Despite the relatively few differences between sites in precipitation patterns along the study period,water availability appeared to be the key factor explaining not only fruit set but also the reproductive performance of this species in the study populations. | Javier Gulías Anna Traveset | 2012 | Journal of Plant Ecology2012，5，3： | 0 |
| 3 | Potential role of lava lizards as pollinators across the Galápagos Islands显示文摘Lizards have been reported as important pollinators on several oceanic islands.Here we evaluate the potential role of Galápagos lava lizards(Microlophus spp.)as pollinators across their radiation.Over 3 years,we sampled pollen transport by 9 lava lizard species on the 10 islands where they are present,including 7 single-island endemics.Overall,only 25 of 296 individuals sampled(8.4%)transported pollen of 10 plant species,the most common being Prosopis juliflora,Exodeconus miersii,Sesuvium sp.and Cordia leucophlyctis.At least 8 of these plant species were native,and none were confirmed as introduced to the archipelago.Despite the low overall proportion of individuals carrying pollen,this was observed in 7 of the nine lizard species,and on 8 of the ten main islands(Española,Fernandina,Floreana,Isabela,Marchena,Pinta,Santa Cruz and Santiago),suggesting that this is a widespread interaction.The results reported here support the potential role of lava lizards as pollinators across their radiation,although they may represent a relatively modest contribution when compared with birds and insects.However,we cannot discard that lizards may be ecologically significant for particular plant species and ecosystems given the specific climatic condition and functional diversity of each island. | Sandra HERVÍAS-PAREJO Manuel NOGALES Beatriz GUZMÁN María del Mar TRIGO Jens MOLESEN Pablo VARGAS Ruben HELENO Anna TRAVESET | 2020 | Integrative Zoology2020，15，2： | 0 |
| 4 | Galápagos land iguana(Conolophus subcristatus)as a seed disperser显示文摘The role of the most common land iguana(Conolophus subcristatus)in the Galápagos Islands as an effective seed disperser is explored in this study.A total of 5705 seeds of 32 plant species were identified from 160 scats,4545 of which(80%)appeared visually undamaged.Germination trials of 849 seeds from 29 species revealed that at least 10 species remained viable after passing through the iguana’s gut,although only a small proportion of those seeds(4%)germinated.In any case,we argue that C.subcristatus exerts an important role on the 7 Galapagos islands where it occurs because of its abundance and capacity to ingest and disperse seeds at long distances.Our results strongly suggest that the Galápagos C.subcristatus plays an important role as a seed disperser of not only of native species but also some introduced plants in the Galápagos Islands. | Anna TRAVESET Manuel NOGALES Pablo VARGAS Beatriz RUMEU Jens M.OLESEN | 2016 | Integrative Zoology2016，11，3： | 0 |
| 5 | Frugivory and seed dispersal in the Galápagos:what is the state of the art?显示文摘The Galápagos are considered a model oceanic archipelago,with unique flora and fauna currently threatened by alien invasive species.Seed dispersal is an important ecosystem function with consequences for plant population dynamics and vegetation structure.Hence,understanding the seed dispersal abilities of the assemblages of frugivores will inform scientists and managers of the dynamics of plant invasions and improve management planning.Here we provide the first comprehensive review of published information on frugivory and animal seed dispersal in the Galápagos.We collected data from a variety of sources,including notes of the first naturalist expeditions,gray literature available only in Galápagos collections,and peer-reviewed journal articles.Plant–animal frugivorous interactions were retrieved from 43 studies and compiled into an interaction matrix describing 366 unique interactions.Most studies focused on fruit consumption as a driving force for natural selection,but seed fate was seldom considered.Although most(71%)of the interactions involved native plants,more than one-quarter(28%)involved introduced species.Interactions involving birds are considerably more common than those of reptiles and mammals,probably reflecting a research bias towards birds.Despite the historical importance of the archipelago as the laboratory for evolutionary and ecological research,understanding of its seed dispersal systems is limited.We end the review by suggesting 3 priority areas of research on frugivory and seed dispersal in the Galápagos:(i)target research to close knowledge gaps;(ii)the use of a network approach to frame seed dispersal at the community level;and(iii)evaluation of the effect of seed dispersal as a selective pressure acting upon plants and frugivores.Finally,the output of this research has to be properly delivered to the Galápagos National Park Services to help increase management effectiveness. | Ruben HELENO Stephen BLAKE Patricia JARAMILLO Anna TRAVESET Pablo VARGAS Manuel NOGALES | 2011 | Integrative Zoology2011，6，2： | 0 |
| 6 | Diet composition of the lizard P odarcis lilfordi (Lacertidae) on 2 small islands: an individualresource network approach显示文摘Despite it is widely accepted that intrapopulation variation is fundamental to ecological and evolutionary processes,this level of information has only recently been included into network analysis of species/population interactions.When done,it has revealed non-random patterns in the distribution of trophic resources.Nestedness in resource use among individuals is the most recurrent observed pattern,often accompanied by an absence of modularity,but no previous studies examine bipartite modularity.We use network analysis to describe the diet composition of the Balearic endemic lizard Podarcis lilfordi in 2 islets at population and individual levels,based on the occurrence of food items in fecal samples.Our objectives are to 1)compare niche structure at both levels,2)characterize niche partition using nestedness and modularity,and 3)assess how size,sex,season,and spatial location influence niche structure.At population-level niche width was wide,but narrow at the level of the individual.Both islet networks were nested,indicating similar ranking of the food preferences among individuals,but also modular,which was partially explained by seasonality.Sex and body size did not notably affect diet composition.Large niche overlap and therefore possibly relaxed competition were observed among females in one of the islets and during spring on both islets.Likewise,higher modularity in autumn suggests that higher competition could lead to specialization in both populations,because resources are usually scarce in this season.The absence of spatial location influence on niche might respond to fine-grained spatio-temporally distribution of food resources.Behavioral traits,not included in this study,could also influence resource partitioning. | Silvia SANTAMARIA Camilla Aviaaja ENOKSEN Jens M.OLESEN Giacomo TAVECCHIA Andreu ROTGER Jose Manuel IGUAL Anna TRAVESET | 2020 | Current Zoology2020，66，1： | 0 |
| 7 | Small size does not restrain frugivory and seed dispersal across the evolutionary radiation of Galapagos lava lizards显示文摘Frugivory in lizards is often assumed to be constrained by body size;only large individuals are considered capable of consuming fruits, with the potential of acting as seed dispersers. However, only one previous study has tested the correlation of frugivory with body and head size at an archipelago scale across closely related species. All nine lava lizards (Microlophus spp.) were studied on the eleven largest Galapagos islands from 2010 to 2016 to investigate whether frugivory is related to body and head size. We also tested whether fruit abunda nee in flue nces fruit con sumption and explored the effect of seed ingestion on seedling emergence time and percentage. Our results showed that across islands, lava lizards varied considerably in size (64-102 mm in mean snoutvent length) and level of frugivory (1-23%, i.e., percentage of droppings with seeds). However, level of frugivory was only weakly affected by size as fruit consumption was also common among small lizards. Lava lizards consumed fruits throughout the year and factors other than fruit abundance may be more importa nt drivers of fruit selecti on (e.g., fruit size, energy con tent of pulp). From 2,530 droppings, 1,714 seeds of at least 61 plant species were identified, 76% of the species being native to the Galapagos. Most seeds (91%) showed no external structural damage. Seedling emergence time (44 versus 118 days) and percentage (20% versus 12%) were enhanced for lizardingested seeds compared to control (uningested) fruits. De-pulping by lizards (i.e., removal of pulp with potential germi nation inhibitors) might in crease the chances that at least some seeds find suitable recruitment conditi ons. We con eluded that lizards are importa nt seed dispersers throughout the year and across the whole archipelago, regardless of body size. | Sandra HERVIAS-PAREJO Ruben HELENO Beatriz RUMEU Beatriz GUZMAN Pablo VARGAS Jens M.
