“…In at least some Asian fig species, individual seeds are covered in a lipid-rich exocarp (Lin et al, 1989;Utzurrum and Heideman, 1991; present study). The gelatinous material seems to be associated solely with viable seeds (Utzurrum and Heideman, 1991).…”

“…Based on analyses of bat feces and ejecta, Utzurrum and Heideman (1991) suggested that the effectiveness of bats as seed dispersers may be enhanced by differential ingestion of viable seeds. The goal of the present study was to test this hypothesis through feeding trials using captive bats (Ptenochirus jagori).…”

“…Bats are particularly good dispersers because they may fl y long distances from the parent tree before processing the fruit, and in many cases extract just the juice and fruit pulp and spit out the seeds largely undamaged (van der Pijl 1935). Alternatively, some species selectively ingest viable seeds, increasing the probability that the dispersed seeds will germinate (Utzurrum & Heideman 1991;Utzurrum 1995).Species relying on bats for pollination in Southeast Asia are most common in the family Myrtaceae (59), with Leguminosae (12), Bignoneaceae (9), Proteaceae (6) Bombacaceae (5), Sonneratiaceae (5) and Musaceae (4) also well represented. At least 448 products of value to humans were found to be derived from 186 species (Fujita & Tuttle 1991).…”

ISBN 979-3361-56-5The Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) was established in 1993 as part of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) in response to global concerns about the social, environmental and economic consequences of forest loss and degradation. CIFOR research produces knowledge and methods to improve the well-being of forest-dependent people and to help countries manage their forests wisely for sustainable benefi ts. This research is conducted in more than two dozen countries, in collaboration with numerous partners. Since it was founded, CIFOR has also played a central role in infl uencing global and national forestry policies.

“…Aves, morcegos e primatas são os principais dispersores de sementes em florestas tropicais (e.g., Howe, 1977;Utzurrum & Heideman, 1991;Marinho-Filho & VasconcelosNeto, 1994;Figueiredo & Perin, 1995;Herrera, 1995;Bizerril & Raw, 1998). Além desses, outros mamíferos como os carnívoros (e.g., Bustamante et al, 1992;Lombardi & Motta-Junior, 1993;Motta-Junior & Martins, 2002), roedores, marsupiais (e.g., McKey, 1975;Magnusson & Sanaiotti, 1987;Yasuda et al, 2000) e ungulados (e.g., Bodmer, 1991) também são considerados dispersores.…”
