Illustration of the interdisciplinary frameworks to study seed dispersal, integrating general spatial patterns and processes from the generalized gravity framework, movement ecology paradigm, and seed dispersal effectiveness framework. The text at the top left reads Generalized Gravity Framework; the text at the top right reads Seed Dispersal Effectiveness Framework. From the tree at the center, the text moving to the left reads: "Source Processes," "Relocation Processes," and "Destination Processes"; the text moving rightward from the tree reads: "Quantity," "Vector Quality," and "Seedscape Quality." The text moving downward from the tree reads "Predispersal & Departure," "Drivers of Movement," "Movement Ecology Paradigm," and "Deposition & Postdispersal." The illustration shows various animals carrying diaspores away from the source tree.

Photo looking up into a leafy tree. Two woody fruits –looking like brown jars—hang from the branches. The lids and seeds inside have fallen away already.
Photo of hand holding a woody conical structure. It is the lid that has fallen out of the fruit. The lid is about 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter.
Bonus #Lecythidaceae post: The fruits of Lecythis pisonis open to release hard seeds. Secondarily dispersed is by animals. Photo 1 shows the empty capsules hanging from the tree. Photo 2 is the lid. #Lecythidaceae #zoochory #dispersal #TropicalBotany 📷: Tarciso Leão CCBY2 #Botany #PlantScience 🌾🧪
Photo of clusters of oblong, brown fruits hanging from leafy branches. The fruits have been nibbled by animals to reveal a yellow interior.
Close-up photo of the fruit. A hand hold a single fruit with a portion of the flesh gnawed away to reveal the woody endocarp.
The fruits of Grias neuberthii, a tree from Colombia, Ecuador & Peru, are drupes that are sometimes consumed by humans (mostly as famine food). Wild animals (which ones?) disperse the seeds. #Lecythidaceae #zoochory #dispersal #TropicalBotany 📷: Attila Oláh CCBY4 #Botany #PlantScience 🌾🧪

Birds spread a pathogenic fungus that infects the crowns of trees and shrubs in the Neotropics, but is good for nest-building. A new dispersal mutualism? #zoochory
