Effect of seed removal by ants on the host-epiphyte associations in a tropical dry forest of central Mexico
Seed depredation is recognized as a determining factor in plant community structure and composition. Ants are primary consumers of seeds influencing abundance of epiphytes on trees. This study was conducted in two subunits of a tropical dry forest established on different soil substrates in San Andr...
