Digestive Strategies, Fruit Processing, and Seed Dispersal in the Chimpanzees (Pan Troglodytes) and Redtail Monkeys (Cercopithecus Ascanius) of Kibale National Park, Uganda
… and relate these findings to their services as seed dispersers. I present data collected between 1993 and 1996, including: results from gut passage experiments conducted on captive Cercopithecus monkeys and chimpanzees; observations of frugivory and defecation in Kibale National Park, Uganda, …

Understanding seed-soil adhesion by myxospermous seeds and their biophysical function in agroecosystems
Seedbanks provide many ecosystem services that support wildlife and regulate soil function. The fate of arable seeds is vital in shaping the aboveground composition of plant communities in agroecosystems. Understanding seed fate informs seedbank dynamics with multi-species interactions, as well as …

Dispersión y predación de semillas por la fauna : implicaciones en la regeneración forestal de bosques templados
… de la plántula (dispersión efectiva). ABSTRACT Seeds are the main means by which tree species regenerate and move across landscapes. Seeds require external agents, biotic or abiotic, to assure their dispersal. Among biotic agents, animals are the main dispersal vectors. However, in the dispersal …

Linking mechanism to pattern in community assembly: Ant-mediated seed dispersal in neotropical pioneer tree species
… demography, and reproduction. Ant-mediated seed dispersal has evolved multiple times in many biogeographical locations. Most research in this area has focused on myrmecochorous plants that are known to elicit seed dispersal by providing a specialized lipid rich food reward called an …
