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.

Seed dispersal by carnivores in temperate and tropical dry forests
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 The seed dispersal mechanisms and regeneration of various forest ecosystems can benefit from the actions of carnivores via endozoochory. This study was aimed to evaluate the role of carnivores in endozoochory and diploendozoochory, as well as their ...

Secondary seed removal in a degraded forest habitat in Madagascar
Scientific Reports, 2021 Forest restoration is a prime goal within the 2021–2030 UN “Decade of Ecosystem Resoration”. As part of these activities, natural regeneration has to be promoted for biological as well as for economic reasons.

Seed limitation in a Panamanian forest [PDF]
Journal of Ecology, 2005 SummaryThe role of seed limitation in tropical forests remains uncertain owing to the scarcity of experimental evidence. We performed seed addition experiments to assess seed limitation for 32 shade‐tolerant tropical forest species and monitored the natural seed rain of 25 of these species for 17 years.One, two or five seeds were sown into 0.0079 ...

Natural experiment demonstrates that bird loss leads to cessation of dispersal of native seeds from intact to degraded forests. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 In healthy forests, vertebrate frugivores move seeds from intact to degraded forests, aiding in the passive regeneration of degraded forests. Yet vertebrate frugivores are declining around the world, and little is known about the impact of this loss on ...
