Fruit richness and seasonality in a fragmented landscape of French Guiana

Abstract: Les écosystèmes forestiers tropicaux se caractérisent non seulement par leur richesse et leur complexité, mais aussi par l'importance des relations interspécifiques dans leur fonctionnement. Ainsi, la disponibilité en fruits est un facteur primordial de la dynamique des populations de vertébrés frugivores. Pour estimer la production de fruits à la station Saint-Eugène et ses variations spatiales et temporelles, nous avons utilisé 200 collecteurs de fruits de 1 m2 . 50 collecteurs ont été placés sur chacun des … Show more

“…Mean annual rainfall is above 3 m, dividing the year into a long dry season (August to November) and a long rainy season (December to July) with an occasional short dry season in February-March. As shown by studies conducted in adjacent areas, fruiting seasonality is particularly marked among species bearing fl eshy fruits dispersed by animals (Sabatier, 1985;Julliot, 1992;Zang, 1994;Larue et al, 2002).…”

“…Consequently, like other frugivores, frugivorous birds are important for the forest dynamics and the evolution of biodiversity (e.g. Robinson & Handel, 1993;Curran & Webb, 2000;Wenny, 2000;Levey et al, 2002;Forget et al, 2002). It is therefore not surprising that during the last decades a quite abundant and still growing literature has been devoted to the analysis of ecological and evolutionary consequences of plant-frugivore interactions (see reviews by Howe, 1986;Willson, 1986;Fleming et al, 1987;Howe & Westley, 1988;Fleming, 1991;Jordano, 1992;Fleming & Estrada, 1993;Cipollini, 2000;Levey et al, 2002, Forget et al, 2002Herrera & Pellmyr, 2002).…”
