Advantages of seed dispersal: A re-evaluation of directed dispersal
TLDR
It is suggested that directed dispersal is more common than previously believed even in the absence of plant adaptations to promote it, and may often be ecologically important if one dispersal vector has a disproportionate effect on plant recruitment.
Ecosystem Services Provided by Birds
TLDR
The goals for this review are to lay the groundwork on supporting services to facilitate future efforts to estimate their economic value, to highlight gaps in knowledge, and to point to future directions for additional research.

SEED DISPERSAL, SEED PREDATION, AND SEEDLING RECRUITMENT OF A NEOTROPICAL MONTANE TREE
Postdispersal fate of seeds from Ocotea endresiana (Lauraceae), a bird-dispersed Neotropical montane tree, was studied in Costa Rica to determine the influence of seed dispersers, seed predators, and…

DOES HUMAN SCENT BIAS SEED REMOVAL STUDIES
TLDR
The results suggest scent biases are weak and short- lived, and most studies are unaffected, and studies that may be affected are those of short duration.

Why birds matter: from economic ornithology to ecosystem services
TLDR
Understanding and valuing bird services and disservices through careful natural history research can better assess the environmental consequences of bird declines and extinctions and communicate these findings to the public and policy makers, thereby increasing public support for the conservation of birds and their habitats.
