Notes: The superscript “E” indicates trees for which crop sizes were visually estimated and the percent of crop dispersed was assigned by randomly selecting it from the distribution of percent seed dispersal, as described in the text. Estimates for all other trees were from fruit traps underneath their crowns. Total seed production within the study plot was 810 seeds/ha.
