| frugivory on persea lingue in temperate chilean forests: interactions between fruit availability and habitat fragmentation across multiple spatial scales. | habitat degradation and fragmentation are expected to reduce seed dispersal rates by reducing fruit availability as well as the movement and abundance of frugivores. these deleterious impacts may also interact with each other at different spatial scales, leading to nonlinear effects of fruit abundance on seed dispersal. in this study we assessed whether the degradation and fragmentation of southern chilean forests had the potential to restrict seed dispersal the lingue (persea lingue) tree, a fl ... | 2010 | 20697745 |
