The Importance of the Black Lemur (Eulemur Macaco) for Seed Dispersal in Lokobe Forest, Nosy Be

摘要: In order to classify trees in the Lokobe Forest, Nosy Be, as dispersed, possibly or not dispersed by Black Lemurs(Eulemur macaco)two Lemur groups were habituated and observed during day night for all months of year (total 1219 hours). When fruits eaten, species was identified, maturity fruit treatment seeds noted. droppings searched seeds; these identified signs damage Species that had ripe eaten also fleshy-fruited produced little no study. Other frugivores feeding on black lemur-dispersed estimate proportion tree species, trunks, trunk basal area Forest Lemurs, plots installed Lokobe’s two forest types they enclosed their dbh measured. For slope Lemurs 57% represented 71% 73% area. ridge values 49%, 76%, 88% respectively. Only four 38 other frugivore species. These results show is very important seed dispersal Forest.
