500 _a"Most of the chapters in this book are derived from presentations given at the Fourth International Symposium/Workshop on Frugivores and Seed Dispersal held in Brisbane, Australia, in 2005"--Pref.
520 3 _aThe chapters of this book on seed dispersal are divided into four parts: (1) frugivores and frugivory (8 chapters); (2) seed and seedling shadows (7 chapters); (3) seed fate and establishment (eight chapters); and (4) management implications and conservation (six chapters). The book presents both recent advances and reviews of current knowledge.
