Seed Dispersal by Primates and Implications for the Conservation of a Biodiversity Hotspot, the Atlantic Forest of South America
(2016-06-01)
Primates play a fundamental role as seed dispersers, particularly in tropical rainforests. Because defaunation and fragmentation are leading several primate species to local extinction, it is fundamental to understand the ...
Qualidade fisiológica de sementes de Sebastiania commersoniana (Baill.) Smith & Downs (branquilho - Euphorbiaceae) durante o armazenamento
(2007-06-01)
This paper aims to evaluate the physiological quality of Sebastiania commersoniana seeds stored in cloth bag, plastic bag and glass container and kept in two conditions: laboratory workbench and cold chamber (4 ± 2°C e 80% ...
Produção de sementes e comportamento germinativo de Tibouchina clavata (Pers.) Wurdack. (Melastomataceae)
(2012-06-01)
In the process of riverine forest restoration, increasing emphasis has been given to the study of herbaceous and shrub species. However, for many of these we still lack basic knowledge, such as reproduction biology. ...

Seed rain, seed predation and germination of native species in Pinus radiata plantations in south-central Chile: Effects of distance to native forest and presence of understory Lluvia de semillas, depredación de semillas y germinación de especies nativas
(Universidad Austral de Chile, 2016)
© 2016, Universidad Austral de Chile. All rights reserved. Native vegetation development in forestry plantations may depend on seed dispersal, seed predation and seed germination. These processes may depend on distance to ...
Rewilding defaunated Atlantic Forests with tortoises to restore lost seed dispersal functions
(2017-10-01)
The extinction of frugivores has been considered one of the main drivers of the disruption of important ecological processes, such as seed dispersal. Many defaunated forests are too small to restore function by reintroducing ...
Neotropical fish-fruit interactions: eco-evolutionary dynamics and conservation
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015-11-01)
Frugivorous fish play a prominent role in seed dispersal and reproductive dynamics of plant communities in riparian and floodplain habitats of tropical regions worldwide. In Neotropical wetlands, many plant species have ...
Frugivory and Seed Dispersal by Northern Pigtailed Macaques (Macaca leonina), in Thailand
(2013-01-09)
Tropical rain forest conservation requires a good understanding of plant-animal interactions. Seed dispersal provides a means for plant seeds to escape competition and density-dependent seed predators and pathogens and to ...
