ABSTRACT Seeds of the Brazilnut tree ( Bertholletia excelsa Humb. & Bonpl., Lecythidaceae) sustain one of the most important extractive industries in neotropical forests. Yet little is known about the demography and seed dispersal ecology of Bertholletia , particularly in natural stands which have not been previously harvested. This study presents data on the population density, spatial distribution, and seed dispersal ...
