Quantity component of the effectiveness of seed dispersal by birds in the temperate rainforest of Chiloé, Chile
(2011)
The quantity component of the disperser effectiveness of resident birds during the autumn-winter period has not yet been detailed in
temperate rainforests of South America. In this study, the potentially frugivorous bird ...
Seed rain of fleshy and dry propagules in different habitats in the temperate rainforests of Chiloé Island, Chile
(Blackwell Publishing, 2001)
In temperate rainforests on Chiloé Island in southern Chile (42°S), most canopy trees bear fleshy, avian-dispersed propagules, whereas emergent tree species have dry, wind-borne propagules. In the present study, the following ...
Interaction dynamics of avian frugivores and plants in a Chilean Mediterranean shrubland
(Elsevier, 2011)
Studies of plant-frugivore interactions are important for identifying the roles that biotic seed vectors play
in seed dispersal, and ultimately plant recruitment. In a subandean shrubland of central Chile, 50% of
total ...
The role of fleshy pericarp in seed germination and dispersal under flooded conditions in three wetland forest species
(2013)
In flooded habitats, inundations affect important forest regeneration processes, such as seed dispersal and germination. The main seed dispersal mechanism used by species in Austral South American temperate swamp and ...
Do corridors promote connectivity for bird-dispersed trees? The case of Persea lingue in Chilean fragmented landscapes
(Springer, 2014)
Disentangling the contribution of corridors
to landscape connectivity is crucial for adopting
efficient measures in conservation, but their actual role
in heterogeneous landscapes is not yet fully understood.
We assessed ...
Influence of temperature, calcium and sucrose concentration on viscoelastic properties of prosopis chilensis seed gum and nopal mucilage dispersions
(Wiley, 2018-07)
Viscoelastic properties of two nontraditional hydrocolloid dispersions were evaluated. Prosopis chilensis seed gum was evaluated based on temperature (5-80 degrees C) and added CaCl2 (0.07%), whereas nopal mucilage was ...
A multi-species assessment of post-dispersal seed predation in the central Chilean Andes
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2006-07)
Background and Aims Post-dispersal seed predation in alpine communities has received little attention despite evidence that seeds removed by granivores can decrease plant recruitment into ecosystems. Moreover, few studies ...
Dispersal quality in plants: How to measure efficiency and effectiveness of a seed disperser
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 1995)
Leaf litter is essential for seed survival of the endemic endangered tree pouteria splendens (Sapotaceae) from central Chile
(Copernicus Gesellschaft MBH, 2018)
Pouteria splendens (A. DC.) Kuntze, the Chilean lucumo, is an endemic tree and the only member of the Sapotaceae family in Chile. It is considered an endangered species as a consequence of its restricted distribution and ...
Are foxes legitimate and efficient seed dispersers? A field test
(1992)
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 ...
