Endozoochory by lowland tapirs improves seed germinability and accelerates germination time of native plant species in an Amazon-Cerrado transition restoration area
ABSTRACT Endozoochory by lowland tapirs (Tapirus terrestris) is regarded as a key seed dispersal mechanism in tropical forests and thus potentially useful for ecological restoration. Although previous studies attested the germination ability of seeds defecated by T. terrestris, no study has tested h...
