摘要: Seed associations were analysed from 5314 bird droppings, 5697 stomach contents, and 129 1 m2 seed traps at two sites over four years to evaluate temporal spatial in the Eastern Deciduous Forest of North America. Analysis was concentrated on eight most abundant seeds found New Jersey. mixing any given location course a year is greater for fruits low nutritional quality than high fruits. Mixing within guts fecal droppings small large seeds. The factors influencing patterns potential selective influences evolution timing fruit ripening are discussed.
