First PhD paper out!🎉 Dive in here to see how past frugivores and present human pressure jointly shape seed size distributions on Madagascar: doi.org/10.1111/ele.... Huge thanks to Alexander Zizka and my supervisor Renske Onstein @renskeonstein.bsky.social . Excited to keep going on this journey!

Legacy of the Lost and Pressure of the Present: Malagasy Plant Seeds Retain Megafauna Dispersal Signatures but Downsize Under Human Pressure Using structural equation models, we show that Malagasy assemblages with higher human pressure have smaller maximum seed sizes, especially through downsizing of extant frugivores. Furthermore, among ... https://doi.org/10.1111/ele.70205
