A simple null model predicts fruit-frugivore interactions in a temperate rainforest
Article Abstract:
A simple null model is derived to predict the pair-wise relationships between the several species of fruits and frugivore. The results obtained from the analysis reveal that the random encounters between the mutalists are the main contributor to the predictable relationships between fruit and frugivore species.

Seedling growth rate and survival do not predict invasiveness in naturalized woody plants in New Zealand
Article Abstract:
The positive association of plant species invasiveness with seedling relative growth rate and survival, among 33 naturalized woody plant species is tested. The findings indicate that among pines, species with high relative growth rate (RGR) are more likely to be widely cultivated.
