Tropical Fruits and Frugivores: The Search for Strong Interactors de J. Lawrence Dew

Tropical Fruits and Frugivores: The Search for Strong Interactors

Editat de J. Lawrence Dew, Jean P. Boubli
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 sep 2005
In this book we undertake one of the first global-scale comparisons of the relationships between tropical plants and frugivorous animal communities, comparing sites within and across continents. In total, 12 primary contributors, including noted plant and animal ecologists, present newly-analyzed long-term datasets on the floristics and phenological rhythms of their study sites, identifying important seed dispersers and key plant taxa that sustain animal communities in Africa, Madagascar, Australasia, and the Neotropics.
