Ecological interactions shape the dynamics of seed predation in Acrocomia aculeata (Arecaceae)

The complex network of direct and indirect relationships determines not only the species abundances but also the community characteristics such as diversity and stability. In this context, seed predation is a direct interaction that affects the reproductive success of the plant. For Acrocomia aculea...
