Toucans disperse seeds of key forest species such as juçara palms by eating the fruit and defecating the seeds in new locations,
sometimes more than a kilometer away. If there are no toucans, is the genetic diversity of palms likely to increase or decrease within forest fragments (and why)? decrease (due to decreased gene flow) T/F
Toucans disperse seeds of key forest species such as juçara palms by eating the fruit and defecating the seeds in new locations, sometimes more than a kilometer away. If there are no toucans, is the genetic diversity of palms likely to increase or decrease within forest fragments (and why)?
The genetic diversity of palm will totally decrease as a result of absence of Toucans dispersal of palms seeds which would not allow the seeds to be randomly grown anywhere. Dispersal has great impact on biodiversity of fruits because it enables the distribution of seeds to be grown everywhere
Density is important because it affects whether objects will float or sink. it is an important property to consider when building things like ships or a hot air ballon.
