The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The restoration of tropical seed dispersal networks (2015, unknown): “Toucans are a key disperser in Atlantic forest (Galetti et al. 2000), and their absence, together with the absence of other large birds in the more recently restored sites, suggests that there are not enough animals in the landscape for colonization.”
Fruit Availability and Peccary Frugivory in an Isolated Atlantic Forest Fragment: Effects on Peccary Ranging Behavior and Habitat Use (2007, background): “Palmito fruits were also consumed by a wide variety of birds and some rodents (Galetti et al. 2000, Fleury & Galetti 2004).”
Phylogeny, Molecular and Fossil Dating, and Biogeographic History of Annonaceae and Myristicaceae (Magnoliales) (2004, background): “…1978; Howe and Vande Kerckhove 1980; Howe 1981, 1993; Howe et al. 1985; Forget and Milleron 1991; Beehler and Dumbacher 1996; Julliot 1997; Sabatier 1997; Galetti et al. 2000; Russo 2003), so it is hard to imagine how they could disperse across the South Atlantic unless it was much narrower.”
