• Removal of palm fruits and ecosystem engineering in palm stands by white-lipped peccaries (Tayassu pecari) and other frugivores in an isolated Atlantic Forest fragment (2009, background): “…strongly support the hypothesis that white-lipped peccaries are ecosystem engineers responsible for signiWcant soil, litter, and vegetation alterations, which may have cascading eVects in tropical forests (Fragoso 1998b; Painter 1998; Silman et al. 2003; Beck 2005; Keuroghlian and Eaton 2008a, b).”
• The Role of Mammals in Creating and Modifying Seedshadows in Tropical Forests and Some Possible Consequences of Their Elimination (2007, background): “For example, peccaries and tapirs perform long-distance seed movement (up to 10 km and 20 km, respectively; Fragoso et al. 2003, Beck 2005), while small-bodied mammals such as rodents move seeds much shorter distances (5–100 m; Jansen & Forget 2001).”
