- In the current global context of growing urbanization, urban nature reserves play a crucial role as habitats that serve educational, recreational and conservation purposes. Biodiversity conservation within urban reserves is a challenging task, particularly since connectivity between a reserve and its surrounding artificial green spaces (e.g. gardens and parks) may affect the ecological processes within the reserve in complex ways. In this context, we studied the feeding interactions between plants and birds to provide evidence that an urban nature reserve is connected to its surrounding artificial habitats by mobile organisms. We focused on fleshy-fruited plants and frugivorous birds, and we used a network approach to describe the feeding interactions between these two guilds. The most important connecting bird was Turdus rufiventris, an abundant and obligate frugivore, whose abundance was positively linked to fruit availability in most of the study sites. The apparent increase in the abundance of T. rufiventris in one habitat when it decreases in the other suggests that the two habitats may be complementary for this species. The nature reserve, with many native plants, however, seems to be the preferred site when both habitats offer an abundant fruit supply. Our results suggest changes in either habitat can have consequences in the other one, which has broad implications for the design of management plans of urban nature reserves.
