As species usually inherit functional traits from a common ancestor, the interactions between fruit-eating birds and plants may show strong phylogenetic signals (i.e. closely related bird species share similar plant partners). However, we are still largely unaware of how climatic factors may influence the phylogenetic signals in bird-fruit interactions. Here, we investigated whether higher precipitation and temperature (i.e. higher primary productivity), together with climatic stability (i.e. lower precipitation and temperature seasonality), increase plant richness and promote stronger phylogenetic signals of both birds and plants. We found annual rainfall and temperature stability predicted plant richness. Birds phylogenetic signal was associated with mean annual precipitation, but the phylogenetic signal of plant species was not associated with any climatic predictor. We suggest that higher rainfall facilitates the coexistence among frugivorous birds by providing more fruits, which allows closely related birds to use similar resources.

We assessed the state-of-knowledge and identified gaps regarding seed dispersal by omnivorous Carnivora that occur in Brazil. A systematic literature review was conducted to examine Carnivora–fruit interactions across four stages of the dispersal loop, namely: 1) frugivory and diet; 2) seed passage through the digestive tract; 3) patterns of seed deposition; and 4) their impact on seedling establishment. Based on 53 papers we found that three species (<em>Cerdocyon thous</em>, <em>Nasua nasua</em> and <em>Potos flavus</em>) concentrated more than 60 % of the studies, with the remaining eight species received less attention. Studies were largely concentrated in the Atlantic Forest, in most populated urban areas, with no studies conducted in the Pantanal biome. Still, large areas remained unexplored. Despite increasing interest in Carnivora–fruit interactions in the last years, only one study addressed the four stages of the dispersal loop, preventing us to compare seed dispersal effectiveness across species. Carnivorans interacted with 132 plant species, dispersing seeds from 0.35 to 340 m, with average seed germination of 48 %.

Here we investigated the main ecological drivers (taxonomic vs. environmental effects) and the evolutionary legacy on the expression of two important variables: carbon stock and carbon uptake. The dataset used are composed by tropical forests sites located in the southeast of Brazil along a climatic gradient including evergreen forests, semideciduous forests and deciduous forests. Relying on forest inventory data from 30 tropical forest sites (33.86 ha), we calculated individual tree carbon stocks and obtained two variables at the population level (species <em>per</em> site): average carbon stock (ton/ha) and average carbon uptake (ton/ha/year). These variables were used joint to phylogenetic trees and analysis to evaluate the main factors explained the variables variation and the evolutionary fingerprint on them. Variations in carbon stock and uptake by individual trees were mostly determined by taxonomic identity (28.7% and 26.7%, respectively) rather than environmental factors (7.1% and 8.9%, respectively), but evolutionary relatedness did not predict similarity among species. Our results indicate that the ability of species to store and absorb carbon depend on their intrinsic characteristics, although these are not shared among closely related <em>taxa</em>. Climate projections predict the loss of species unable to adapt to novel conditions, which, in light of our results, could impact tropical carbon dynamics.

The sample plots were laid out using two ways stratified random sampling approach and the biomass was evaluated by applying linear regression equations. The soil samples were collected at three different depths viz., 0–10 cm, 11–30 cm and 31–60 cm to analyse the pH, bulk density and SOC stock. The tree density and TBC values significantly varied in different forest types and ranged from 300 ± 11.55 to 840 ± 15.55 trees ha<sup>−1</sup> and 12.55 ± 4.62 to 36.23 ± 5.77 m<sup>2</sup> ha<sup>−1</sup>, respectively.
