At the Beni Biological Station, Bolivia, we compared the fate of seeds of the palm Attalea phalerata dispersed by tapirs to a lattine with that of non-dispetsed seeds. Survival of seeds that had passed through tapir guts ...

For a plant with bird-dispersed seeds, the effectiveness of seed dispersal can change with fruit availability at scales ranging from individual plants to neighborhoods, and the scale at which frugivory patterns emerge may ...

Evaluated germination of Cryptocarya alba seeds dispersed by Dusicyon culpaeus. Defecated seeds are viable and germinate at higher proportion than controls. in the field, germination was greater for seeds located beneath ...

To define the chances of a dispersed seed to produce a new recruit, it is essential to consider all stages of the dispersal process. Howler monkeys are recognized to have positive impacts on forest regeneration, acting as ...

Aims: Seed dispersal by endozoochory is an important process in plant regeneration and the establishment of new populations. Seeds with dormancy may especially benefit after disperser gut passage. However, the ways in which ...

The influence of the golden lion tamarin (Leontopithecus rosalia) as a seed disperser was studied by monitoring two groups of tamarins from December 1998 to December 2000 (871.9 hours of observations) in a forest fragment ...

The European rabbit plays a major role in seed dispersal in its native environment. We evaluated its ecological interactions with plants through the dispersal of seeds by endozoochory in two invaded arid ecotones of ...

A germinação de sementes pode ser influenciada pela passagem através do trato digestório animal, que, nesse caso, poderá atuar como dispersor, dependendo de como as sementes são afetadas. Quando a passagem pelo trato ...
