In this paper, we evaluate patterns of fruit eating and seed dispersal in monkeys and apes and draw an important distinction between 1) the ecological consequences of primates as seed dispersers and 2) the evolutionary implications of primates on the seed and fruit traits of the plant species they e

## Abstract Almost half of the world's extant primate species are of conservation concern [IUCN, International Union for the Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species, 2008]. Primates are also effective seed dispersers. The implications of and interactions between these two facts are in
## Abstract The natural evolution of ponds leads to the filling up of these small ecosystems, and human intervention may sometimes be necessary to ensure their continued nature conservation interest. In the arid karstic region of the βCausses du Quercyβ (France), there are numerous ponds bored int
Over recent decades, an increased commitment to linking research with practice has resulted in many new insights for biodiversity conservation in human-dominated landscapes. However, despite concentrated research effort on 'fragmented ecosystems' , there is often a mismatch between this work and the
