Seed dispersal may be essential to: i) escape parent-proximity mortality, ii) colonize new areas, or iii) reach favorable microsites (Schupp, 1993). Sensitivity of large-bodied animals to anthropogenic disturbance puts dependent large-seeded tree species at high risk of dispersal limitation (Cardoso da Silva & Tabarelli, 2000; Babweteera
