Seed removal by ants from faeces produced by different vertebrate species
(Universite Laval, 2005-01-01)
Ants frequently harvest seeds from faeces of frugivorous vertebrates. By transporting these seeds to nests, ants may influence seed dispersal success of plants. Seed removal by ants from vertebrate faeces is influenced by ...

Effects of seed size and frugivory degree on dispersal by Neotropical frugivores
(Elsevier B.V., 2018-11-01)
Large vertebrates are important elements of mutualistic interactions and provide positive impacts on plant population and community dynamics. Despite the increasing interest on vertebrate frugivory we are still not able ...
A new hypothesis for the importance of seed dispersal in time

Internal seed dispersal by parrots: An overview of a neglected mutualism
(PeerJ Inc., 2016-02-22)
Despite the fact that parrots (Psitacifformes) are generalist apex frugivores, they have largely been considered plant antagonists and thus neglected as seed dispersers of their food plants. Internal dispersal was investigated ...

Secondary metabolites of vertebrate-dispersed fruits: evidence for adaptive functions
(Sociedad de Biología de Chile, 2000)
Early genetic consequences of defaunation in a large-seeded vertebrate-dispersed palm (Syagrus romanzoffiana)
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-01)
Plant populations are seriously threatened by anthropogenic habitat disturbance. In particular, defaunation may disrupt plant-disperser mutualisms, thus reducing levels of seed-mediated gene flow and genetic variation in ...
Seed movement between the native forest and monoculture tree plantations in the southern Atlantic forest: A functional approach
(Elsevier Science, 2018-12)
The native vegetation within tree plantations increases the suitability for native biodiversity; however, the regeneration of this vegetation depends on the movement of seeds from the native forest by vertebrates and wind. ...
