A case study of a plant-animal relationship: Cola lizae and lowland gorillas in the Lopé Reserve, Gabon [PDF]
ABSTRACTThe frails of Cola lizae, an endemic tree with a limited geographical distribution, have been a major food source for lowland gorillas in the Lopé Reserve during part of each year over a six-year period. Faecal analysis indicated that 11,000-18,000 Cola seeds km-2 were deposited by gorillas during the 4-month season in 1989.
