The spatial patterns of seed and seedling distribution relative to parents trees (seed ans seedling shadow, rspectively) were studied for Dacrydes chimantesis (Burseraceae) and Brosimum utile (Moraeae), two common tree species of terra firme forest of Colombian Amazonia. The general objective was to assess whether the patterns imposed by seed dispersal change or persist in subsequent life stages occurring during the transition from seeds/saplings to adult stages. Seed and seedling shadows on the ground were characterized for each tree species along four 50-m radial transects from the base of the parent tree. Causes of seed and seedling predation as a function of distance to the parent tree were determined, as well as the spatial consistency...
