- Reposted by Raquel Muñoz Gallego¿Alguien se imagina que existan "controles de polinizadores" porque molestan a una minoría? O ¿"controles de controladores de plagas"? Las funciones ecológicas descomunales que desempeñan los dispersores de semillas siguen siendo ampliamente desconocidas por la mayoría. @secem-sicem.bsky.social

- Reposted by Raquel Muñoz GallegoHappy to have contributed to this piece, the result of a collaborative effort during the Andina workshop led by @canobarbacil.bsky.social . We hope this analysis on the barriers to ecological research helps drive some real-world impact 🌎 😊
- Why do so many ecologists share common feelings of disconnection between their research goals and real-world impact? 🌍 Our new article in #FE&E explores the constraints that limit ecological research and how we can mitigate them. 👇 esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

- Muy felices de contribuir al monográfico "Ecología de las invasiones" con un artículo de revisión sobre invasiones en islas🏝️, fruto de una bonita colaboración entre las compañeras del @annatraveset.bsky.social lab😎 revistaecosistemas.net/index.php/ec...
- Nos acercamos a Diciembre y con él el nuevo monográfico, que llevará por título "Ecología de las invasiones". En nuestra sección de próximos artículos podéis leer algunos de los artículos ya publicados: revistaecosistemas.net/index.php/ec...
- Very happy to see the last and my favourite article of the PhD out in @funecology.bsky.social! We show how an invasive moth can alter plant-frugivore interactions in the Mediterranean dwarf palm🦋🏝️🍒🐐 @imedea.bsky.social @annatraveset.bsky.social besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
- We characterized fruit and seed traits and monitored visitation and fruit removal rates by functionally diverse frugivores on intact and infested female palms over two consecutive seasons in Mallorca

- Reposted by Raquel Muñoz Gallego‼️🚨My first PhD paper out in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social We built an automated camera system to detect plant–pollinator interactions (day & night) and compared networks from cameras vs. focal observations. 📜👉 doi.org/10.1111/2041... @annatraveset.bsky.social @imedea.bsky.social

- Reposted by Raquel Muñoz GallegoNew paper out! 🏙️ We found that urbanisation simplifies and homogenises seed dispersal networks. 🪴🐦⬛ Non-native plants dominate in cities, accounting for 61% 😔 of interactions in the urban network vs just 15% in forests! 🪻🌿🌴 Check it out: doi.org/10.1111/cobi... 🌐🧪🌍🍁

We developed a trait-based framework 🌱🦜 to quantify how plant-frugivore interactions and animal movement shape plant functional connectivity—the dispersal of seeds between habitat patches. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

- Reposted by Raquel Muñoz GallegoPollinator decline has captured global attention, but another plant-animal mutualism is quietly unraveling. Our new Nature Reviews Biodiversity article synthesizes global evidence on seed disperser decline and what it means for plant biodiversity, ecosystem recovery, and climate adaptation. 🧵
