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 importance of fruit abundance, fruiting plant species

(usually in hazardous environments such as undersea explo-ration or chemical plants), and various command and control applications. The Spring kernel is a research oriented kernel designed to form the basis of a flexible, hard real-time operating system for such applications. Our approach challenges

species are partially frugivorous. Using data on relative abundance, mass, and degree of frugivory for all frugivorous vertebrates at Crater, we generated a crude "index of importance " for each species. Using the fruit size and mass data from 400 plant species, we exclude fruits either too

Forest disturbance causes specialization of plant-frugivore networks and jeopardizes mutu-alistic interactions through reduction of ecological redundancy. To evaluate how simplifica-tion of a forest into an agroecosystem affects plant-disperser mutualistic interactions, we compared bat

Sensing technology is a cornerstone for many industrial applications. Manufacturing plants and engineering facilities, such as shipboard engine rooms, require sensors to ensure product quality and efficient and safe operation. We focus on one representative application, preventative equipment

Despite the accumulation of a considerable body of literature about frugivory and seed dispersal of fleshy-fruited plants by vertebrates during

Abstract Although seed dispersal is considered to be a key process determining the spatial structure and spread of non-native plant populations, few studies have explicitly addressed the link between dispersal vector behaviour, seed distribution and seedling recruitment to gain insight

suggests that frugivorous New World phyllostomid bats play a more important role in early plant succession than their Old World pteropodid counterparts. We propose that phyllostomid bats have shared a long evolutionary history with small-seeded early successional shrubs and treelets while pteropodid bats
