- Title
Changes in Seed Predation of Attalea dubia in a Gradient of Atlantic Forest Disturbance in Brazil.
- Authors
MEIGA, ANA Y. Y.; CHRISTIANINI, ALEXANDER V.
- Abstract
Many tropical forest biomes are now human-modified landscapes consisting of mosaics of forests under different degrees of anthropogenic disturbances immersed in a matrix of pastures and croplands (Melo et al. 2013). The conservation of the original plant diversity in these landscapes relies on the mechanisms that allow population persistence in the remnant patches such as adult survival and seedling recruitment (Portela et al. 2010). Plant population persistence may also rely on seed dispersal and predation that allow the colonization and recolonization of the patches (Tabarelli et al. 2010, McConkey et al. 2012).
