Abstract Dispersal limitation severely impairs the trajectory of restoration, mainly due to lack seed vectors bringing seeds from nearby habitats; a role played by many frugivorous vertebrates that can be absent or reduced in restored degraded sites. Here we propose new technique named Induced Seed Dispersal, amplifies generalist frugivores have dispersal. It consists offering embedded pulp commercial fruits whole native fleshy feeders frugivores, which ingest and defecate them elsewhere. We...
Seed dispersal is an important natural process in the restoration of degraded ecosystems. The aim this project to identify frugivorous fauna with potential for induced Cecropia hololeuca (Urticaceae) seeds, immersed banana pulp and offered a feeder located restored area, evaluate its role enrichment area. species visiting were filmed by self-firing cameras their behavior analyzed relation frequency occurrence, as well relative efficiency these seeds. It expected that evaluation birds mammals...
