dispersers

The rapid phenological changes that have been observed in response to simulated climate change have the potential to disrupt the relationships that plants have with animal, fungal, and bacterial species that act as pollinators, seed dispersers, herbivores, seed predators, and pathogens [133].

Lemur species, particularly the brown lemur (Eulemur fulvus), may be critical to the regeneration of the forests because they are some of the few and potentially most important seed dispersers in this diverse forest.

Lizards as pollinators and seed dispersers: an island phenomenon.

Pollinator Wikipedia 2009

In order for frugivores to be good seed dispersers they must digest fruits without consuming a high proportion of the seeds.

Furthermore, different seed dispersers tend to disperse seeds to different habitats, at different abundances, and distances depending on their behavior and numbers [13].

Frugivore Wikipedia 2009

Birds and mammals are the most important seed dispersers, but a wide variety of other animals, including turtles and fish, can transport viable seeds [15].

Seed dispersal Wikipedia 2009

In the tropics, large animal seed dispersers (such as tapirs, chimpanzees and hornbills) may disperse large seeds with few other seed dispersal agents.

Finally, seeds may be secondarily dispersed from seeds deposited by primary animal dispersers.

Seed dispersal Wikipedia 2009

While frugivores and fruit-producing plant species are worldwide, there is some evidence that tropical forests have more frugivore seed dispersers than the temperate zone.
