High-quality seed dispersal by fruit-eating fishes in Amazonian floodplain habitats
Oecologia, 2009Seed dispersal is a critical stage in the life history of plants. It determines the initial pattern of juvenile distribution, and can influence community dynamics and the evolutionary trajectories of individual species. Vertebrate frugivores are the primary vector of seed dispersal in tropical forests; however, most studies of seed dispersal focus on ...

The aromatic potential of amazonian fruits
2000The determination of total aglycons released by enzymatic hydrolysis of cupuaçu, bacuri, and acerola glycosidic extracts indicates significant amounts of glycosidically bound volatile components in these fruits. Glucosides and rutinosides were the main glycoconjugates present as indicated by structural analysis of the saccharidic moieties.

Vertebrate responses to fruit production in Amazonian flooded and unflooded forests
Biodiversity and Conservation, 2007We document patterns of fruit and vertebrate abundance within an extensive, virtually undisturbed mosaic of seasonally flooded (varzea and igapo) and unflooded (terra firme) forests of central Amazonia. Using phenological surveys and a standardised series of line-transect censuses we investigate the spatial and temporal patterns of immature and mature ...

Floristic impoverishment of Amazonian floodplain forests managed for açaí fruit production
Forest Ecology and Management, 2015Abstract Enrichment planting of acai palms (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) has intensified in Amazonian floodplain forests following increases in both domestic and international demand for the acai palm fruit, now marketed as a ‘superfood’. The consequences of this expansion for regional biodiversity are poorly understood and herein we aim to evaluate how ...

World Forestry: Amazonian Fruit-Eating Fish and the Varzea Forest
Journal of Forestry, 1983Abstract A vital and complex interrelationship exists between the fishes and the varzea (flooded) forest of the Amazon Basin. Amazonian fishes, particularly of the characin group, depend for food on fruits and seeds from the flooded forest and in the process provide a mechanism for distribution of various forest species.

Fruit and seed dispersal in amazonian floodplain trees - a review
2013More than one thousand tree species grow in Amazonian floodplain forests, an environment which is closely linked to a periodical and predictable flood pulse. All biotic and abiotic modes of dispersal which are known for trees in surrounding ecosystems are also present in the floodplains.
