Abstract
Animal dispersers are the key in the configuration of plant communities and expanding existing populations. Knowledge about how frugivory and seed deposition are spatially distributed is valuable to understand the role of dispersers on the structure and dynamics of plant populations. Seed dispersal by animals provides a fundamental service for the ecosystems, and mammals are one of the most important vertebrate groups responsible for seed dispersal in tropical regions.
