Incorporating patterns of disperser behaviour into models of seed dispersal and its effects on estimated dispersal curves (2005, background): “…example, when animals habitually consume fruit at certain locations (Janzen et al. 1976), avoid particular microhabitats (Gomez 2003), defecate at traditional latrines (Dinerstein and Wemmer 1988; Fragoso et al. 2003), or regularly attend display (Wenny and Levey 1998) or rest sites (Julliot 1997).”
When do Localized Natural Enemies Increase Species Richness (2005, background): “However, in reality, seed deposition patterns are not determined entirely by adult distributions: there may be disproportionate or directed dispersal to particular habitat types, and seeds may be locally clumped even after accounting for differences in distances from adults and habitat because of th”
Seed dispersal by a frugivorous marsupial shapes the spatial scale of a mistletoe population (2009, background): “Additionally, some dispersers may generate seed clumps in locations far away from adult plants, but spatially associated with perching structures, resting sites, heterospecific fruiting canopies and latrine areas (Fragoso et al. 2003; García et al. 2007; Jordano et al. 2007).”
The Role of Mammals in Creating and Modifying Seedshadows in Tropical Forests and Some Possible Consequences of Their Elimination (2007, background): “Certain palm seeds eaten by tapirs exhibit a highly clumped distribution across landscape scales and this distribution is consistent with the use of latrines by these mammals (Fragoso et al. 2003).”
Seed predation of Araucaria angustifolia (Araucariaceae) in the Brazilian Araucaria Forest: influence of deposition site and comparative role of small and ‘large’ mammals (2008, background): “…(\200 g) to peccaries more than 30 kg. Mammals are also reckoned as relevant seed dispersers in neotropical forests, especially large body-sized species, such as agoutis, pacas, and tapirs (Forget 1994, Fragoso et al. 2003; Pimentel and Tabarelli 2004; Jansen et al. 2004; Guimarães et al. 2005).”
The Lavrados of Roraima: Biodiversity and Conservation of Brazil's Amazonian Savannas (2007, background): “Most of the collection effort and ecological studies for mammals has been concentrated the Maracá Island in Brazil (Nunes 1998; Fragoso et al. 2003; Silvius and Fragoso 2003) and in the Iwokrama forest in Guyana (Burton and Engstrom 2005); both are CUs for integral protection.”
Megagardeners of the forest - the role of elephants in seed dispersal (2011, background): “On a larger spatial scale, long distance dispersal by plants promotes colonization of vacant areas and ecological succession (Fragoso et al., 2003; Trakhtenbrot et al., 2005), enhances connectivity in fragmented landscapes and migration rates (e.g. as a response to global warming), and can even…”
Biodiversity, species interactions and ecological networks in a fragmented world (2012, background): “The disappearance of large frugivores thus decreases the probability of long-distance dispersal of fleshy-fruited plants from small patches and fragments (Fragoso, 1997; Fragoso et al., 2003; Spiegel and Nathan, 2007; Uriarte et al., 2011).”
Hunting of Mammals Reduces Seed Removal and Dispersal of the Afrotropical Tree Antrocaryon klaineanum (Anacardiaceae) (2007, background): “Ironically, just as empirical studies that make that connection are emerg- ing (e.g., Julliot 1997, Kinnaird 1998, Fragoso et al. 2003, Russo & Augspurger 2004), we are simultaneously finding that the loss of seed dispersal may reduce the viability of plant populations (NunezIturri & Howe 2007,…”
The Ecology of Seeds: References (2005, background): “More seeds of the palm Maximiliana maripa survive if deposited by their dispersers (tapirs) some distance from a conspecific adult, but defecation of numerous seeds in one location results in aggregated recruitment (Fragoso et al., 2003).”
