Influence of tree-fall gaps on directional seed dispersal by small mammals in Central Panama [PDF]
Neotropical Biology and Conservation, 2023 Small mammals, particularly rodents, are often important seed-dispersal agents in Neotropical forests. Directional seed dispersal into tree-fall gaps may enhance seedling survival of light-demanding species and thus influence forest regeneration.
