Curatella americana is a common tree species widely distributed throughout the Pantanal, a swampy region in Mid-Western Brazil. Each tree produces a large number of fruits that are appreciated by many species of birds and mammals including Aratinga aurea parrots. However, there is limited information about the influence of seed ingestion by parrots on the germination process of this tree species. Thus, the objective of this research was to evaluate the germination of non-predated Curatella americana seeds (collected from the fruits) compared with predated seeds (that had passed through the digestive tract of parrots), collected in the ‘Pantanal do Negro’ area. The collected material was brought to the laboratory and the seeds were subjected...
