Sc) -- CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica), 2011 Se evaluó la dispersión, remoción y depredación de semillas de C. brasiliense en un bosque afectado por el huracán Félix y otro sin perturbación en la Región Autónoma Atlántico Norte de Nicaragua (RAAN), ambos sitios de estudio se encuentran desprovistos de actividades de cacería. Se midió el destino (removida y no removida) de cada semilla, la distancia de remoción y se determinó si existió una dispersión efectiva (semillas enterradas y abandonadas). Finalmente, se evaluó la abundancia y riqueza de mamíferos medianos mediante caminatas diurnas y roedores pequeños a través de capturas con trampas Shermann en ambos sitios de estudio. Finalmente, se recomienda planificar el manejo forestal de C. brasiliense cuando los valores de dispersión sean mayores y con ello incrementen potencialmente los bancos de regeneración. I evaluated the seed fate of animal-dispersed timber species Calophyllum brasiliense in hurricane-impacted forests by 2007 Hurricane Felix in the North Atlantic Autonomous Region (RAAN) of Nicaragua. I quantified the rates of seed removal, seed distance, dispersal and seed predation in both hurricane-impacted and undisturbed forests. The distance of seed removal was significantly higher in the undisturbed forest site. Finally, we recommend managing this species when seed dispersal values are higher and could potentially result in successfully established banks of regeneration. 2014-10-20T05:36:59Z 2014-10-20T05:36:59Z 2011 Tesis de maestría 376836 https://repositorio.catie.ac.cr/handle/11554/5522 http://orton.catie.ac.cr/repdoc/A8952e/A8952e.pdf Turrialba (Costa Rica) es application/pdf CATIE, Turrialba (Costa Rica)
