Selective logging impacts primarily on ecosystem functions in which mobile animal species play a role.

The scientists thus noticed positive effects on pollination by insects, seed dispersal by birds and also on the raids of the army-ants – probably due to the altered movement patterns of these species.

Selektive Abholzung wirkt sich vor allem auf Ökosystemfunktionen aus, an denen mobile Tierarten beteiligt sind.

So beobachteten die Wissenschaftler positive Effekte bei Bestäubung durch Insekten, Samenausbreitung durch Vögel und auch bei den Raubzügen der Treiberameisen – wahrscheinlich aufgrund veränderter Bewegungsmuster dieser Tierarten.
