Biotropica at the Forefront of Tropical Seed Dispersal Ecology

Seed dispersal is one of the most frequently published topics in Biotropica. In this commentary, we highlight Biotropica's main contributions to the fertile field of frugivory and seed dispersal while offering a few ideas to guide the next generation of studies in the journal.
