Many plant populations are affected by seed consumers since these can affect the rates and patterns of seedling recruitment. Ants, birds and rodents are main agents of seed removal. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the relative importance of ants, birds and rodents on seed removal in different types of Cerrado vegetations and to determine the effects of seed removal on seedling recruitment. Field work was performed at Panga Ecological Station near Uberlândia, MG, Brazil, in the foolowing vegetation types: cerrado sensu stricto, cerrado denso e cerradão. I determined the seed removal rates for the following tree species: Coussarea hydrangeaefolia, Guapira graciliflora, Maprounea guianensis, Matayba guianensis, Siparun...
