Forest fragmentation and plant diversity have been shown to play a crucial role for herbivorous insects (herbivores, hereafter). In turn, herbivory-induced leaf area loss is known to have direct implications for plant growth and reproduction as well

Plant-frugivore networks play a key role in the regeneration of sub-tropical forest ecosystems. However, information about the impact of habitat characteristics on plant-frugivore networks in fragmented forests is scarce. We investigated the importan

Insectivorous birds are known to play a decisive role for the natural control of herbivorous insects. Thus, they enhance the growth, reproduction, and survival of plant individuals and in the long-term benefit plant regeneration. However, particularl

Summary1. Co-occurring and simultaneously fruiting plant species may either compete for dispersal byshared frugivores or enhance each other’s dispersal through joint attraction of frugivores. Whilecompetitive plant–plant interactions are expected

Invasive plant species threaten ecosystems worldwide. Management of invasive plants considerably benefits from an understanding of the processes that drive invasive spread, like seed dispersal. In the subtropics, many invasive species rely on vertebr

Summary 1. Functional diversity (FD) of pollinators can increase plant reproductive output and the stability of plant-pollinator communities. Yet, in times of world-wide pollinator declines, effects of global change on pollinator FD remain poorly und

Fragmentation is a major threat factor for plant–frugivore communities in tropical and subtropical forests. Resulting changes in the distribution of traits within these communities, e.g., a loss in large-bodied frugivores, may lead to strong change

Habitat loss and plant invasions are two major drivers of global change in subtropical and tropical ecosystems. Both lead to a loss of biodiversity and alter species interactions, which may imperil vital ecosystem processes such as seed dispersal by

The continuing spread of exotic plants and increasing human land-use are two major drivers of global change threatening ecosystems, species and their interactions. Separate effects of these two drivers on plant-pollinator interactions have been thoro

Summary1. Seed dispersal by frugivores is the basis for regeneration of fleshy-fruited plants in forest ecosys-tems. Previous studies have reported a decrease in forest specialist frugivores due to logging andforest edges. Forest generalists appear
