The Role of Mammals in Creating and Modifying Seedshadows in Tropical Forests and Some Possible Consequences of Their Elimination (2007, background): “…(Mustelidae: Lutra spp., Quadros & Monteiro-Filho 2000), tayras (Mustelidae: Eira barbara; Konecny 1989), and some canids in South America (Cerdocyon thous, Lycalopex vetulus, Chrysocyon brachyurus) also play a minor role in seed dispersal in the Neotropics (Dalponente & De Souza 1999, Pizo 2002).”
Frugivores at higher risk of extinction are the key elements of a mutualistic network (2014, background): “The cotingas Carpornis cucullata and Lipaugus lanioides heavily rely on fruits in their diets, dispersing a variety of plant species (Pizo et al. 2002), as does Pteroglossus bailloni (Galetti et al. 2000).”
Seed dispersal of fleshy‐fruited invasive plants by birds: contributing factors and management options (2005, background): “The role of seed dispersal by birds and mammals has been investigated extensively (Snow, 1971; Herrera, 1984; Howe, 1986; Wenny, 2001; Pizo, 2002).”
Relations between fruits and disperser assemblages in a Malagasy littoral forest: a community-level approach (2004, background): “Besides the differences mentioned above, the remaining chemical components vary little among the diets of consumer species and do not seem to influence feeding selection as has been shown by other studies (Corlett 1996, Pizo 2002).”
Interactions between ants, fruits and seeds in a restinga forest in south-eastern Brazil (2003, background): “…showed that species bearing carbohydrate-rich fruits such as Myrcia rostrata (carbohydrates 78% of pulp content; M. A. Pizo, unpubl. data), and Psidium cattleyanum (carbohydrates 91% of pulp content; Pizo 2002) can be highly attractive to ants as well, including large ponerines (Tables 2 and 5).”
