Generalist dispersers promote germination of an alien fleshy-fruited tree invading natural grasslands.
Plants with animal-dispersed fruits seem to overcome the barriers that limit their spread into new habitats more easily than other invasive plants and, at the same time, they pose special difficulties for containment, control or eradication. The effects of animals on plant propagules can be very div...
