摘要: This paper reviews the ecological literature published during last 15 years on pollination and seed dispersal by lizards, in order to determine possible effects of these animals plant reproduction. review is only limited because articles plant-lizard interactions this period have used more rigorous experimental approaches than those made previously. All compiled data were analyzed considering conceptual framework provided quantity quality components (i.e., effectiveness), since information essential an idea relative contribution fitness. Results showed that 34 species lizards feed nectar fruits plants. While consume materials, they could effectively pollinate flowers or disperse seeds sites away from parent However, studies particular aspects should be conducted completely understand evolutionary
