Article Synopsis
  • * A new database has been created, containing over 1.6 million samples from 78 countries, which includes data on around 28,000 species experiencing various types of human impacts across different ecosystems.
  • * This comprehensive dataset, part of the PREDICTS project, offers a much broader perspective for analyzing biodiversity trends and will be publicly accessible in 2015, enhancing our understanding of ecological changes.

Animal-plant interactions are important for the recovery of diversity and processes in secondary forests, which increasingly dominate the tropical landscape. We used a combination of observational and experimental approaches to study the interactions of ants with diaspores across a successional gradient of forests in Southern Brazil, from August 2007 to April 2008. In addition to diaspore removal rates, we assessed the species richness, diversity and behaviour of ants interacting with diaspores, in three replicated sites of four successional stages of forests.

Secondary forests and plantations increasingly dominate the tropical wooded landscape in place of primary forests. The expected reduction of biodiversity and its impact on ecological functions provided by these secondary forests are of major concern to society and ecologists. The potential effect of biodiversity loss on ecosystem functioning depends largely on the associated loss in the functional diversity of animal and plant assemblages, i.
