内容简介：
Until recently, the production of fruits, by plant, their consumption by animals (frugivory) and the relevance of these to seed dispersal have attracted less attention than pollincaiton biology. However, since the 1970s they have started to gain more prominence and now give rise to more research funding, seminal papers and international symposiums. This book contains chapters adapted from the Third International Workshop on Frugivores and Seed Dispersal held in August 2000 in Rio Quente, Brazil.
