Dispersal‐related plant traits are associated with range size in the Atlantic Forest
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 30, Issue 7, July 2024.Abstract Aim The efficiency of animal‐mediated seed dispersal is threatened by the decline of animal populations, especially in tropical forests. We hypothesise that large‐seeded plants with animal‐mediated dispersal tend to have limited geographic ranges and face an increased risk of extinction due to the potential decline in seed dispersal by large ...
