Frugivory and seed dispersal by lemurs in Madagascar's rainforests
This talk will provide an overview of the roles and impacts of lemur frugivores on plant population dynamics and community structure in biodiverse rainforests in Madagascar, where a majority of plants have traits adapted for seed dispersal by animals and highly diverse plant communities are relying on a limited set of frugivore generalist taxa for seed dispersal services. It will also highlight the consequences of frugivore loss on ecosystem health.
