Article Description

At La Selva, Costa Rica, seed survival of Welfia in gaps and beneath fruiting adults was very low, and significantly less than survival in the understory 10 m from an adult. Thus, the increase in survival with dispersal of seeds away from the parent is habitat-dependent. The difference is likely caused by the differential responses of various seed predator species to treefall gaps. -from Authors
