Stratification of a tropical forest as seen in dispersal types

Focusing on the intricate relationships between tropical fruits, seeds, and their dispersal mechanisms, this work highlights the limited knowledge available regarding these aspects in the West Indies and the Azores. The author draws upon extensive research and contributions from notable botanists, emphasizing the rich diversity of tropical species and the complexities of plant-animal interactions. Despite previous studies shedding light on these subjects, significant gaps remain, particularly in understanding the detailed dispersal methods of tropical plant species.
