This study offers a detailed description of natal dispersal patterns in owl monkeys (Aotus azarai) and evaluates the extent and characteristics of sex-biased dispersal in this monogamous mammal. Owl monkeys are small, ...

In many ways the diversity of the Juan Fernández flora is impressive given the relative youth of the islands, the remoteness of the archipelago, and the small bird fauna associated with them. The native flora is small ...

Background: Some neotropical, fleshy-fruited plants have fruits structurally similar to paleotropical fruits dispersed by megafauna (mammals > 10(3) kg), yet these dispersers were extinct in South America 10-15 Kyr BP. ...

1. Forest fragmentation may intensify recruitment limitation through impacts on seed production, dissemination and seedling establishment processes. In an ancient mosaic of fog-dependent rain forest patches on coastal ...

We review the hypothesized origin and the methods of arrival of the angiosperm colonists to the Juan Fernandez Islands. We also summarize the dispersal capabilities of the current flora, including data on fruit type, fruit ...

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 ...
