Differential contribution of frugivores to complex seed dispersal patterns.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 27 Feb 2007

Jordano P, García C, Godoy J A, García-Castaño J L

Abstract excerpt

Frugivores are highly variable in their contribution to fruit removal in plant populations. However, data are lacking on species-specific variation in two central aspects of seed dispersal, distance of dispersal and probability of dispersal among populations through long-distance transport. We used DNA-based genotyping techniques on Prunus mahaleb seeds dispersed by birds (small- and medium-sized passerines) and...
