ES UNA NOTA SIN RESUMEN.(...) In summary, while fully recognizing the value of Vergara et al.?s (2015) results in documenting and explaining present patterns of bird-plant interactions, we believe they do not reject the TA model (sensu Gurvich et al. 2005) as claimed by the authors. In the case of P. angustifolia, the empirical findings actually support the model. In the case of P. coccinea, they highlight that another attribute might be triggering invasive success, which could be true although moreresearch is needed to confirm this assertion.
