“…We expect that the great majority of angiosperm propagules dispersed were ingested directly from the mother plants during herbivory, as would be consistent both with plant height (Flora e Funga do Brasil, 2023) and the 'foliage is the fruit' hypothesis in which plant foliage attracts herbivores, and is ingested together with seeds (Janzen, 1984;Jaroszewicz et al, 2023). were likely to be viable but dormant (Espinar et al, 2023).…”

“…Studies on ungulates and waterfowl show that both groups disperse a diversity of small-seeded, herbaceous plants by endozoochory (see Albert et al, 2015;Almeida et al, 2022;Green et al, 2022 for reviews). Herbivorous mammals that disperse seeds can establish mutualistic relationships with plants (Janzen, 1984;Jaroszewicz et al, 2023). While frugivorous mammals are attracted by fleshy fruits and subsequently disperse seeds within through endozoochory, herbivores are mainly attracted to foliage and can consume accompanying seeds (Janzen, 1984).…”
