Fruit removal and seed dispersal of three individuals of the vine Strychnos erichsonii (Loganiaceae) were investigated in a mature forest of French Guiana, during the season of minimal flower and fruit production. Five visitor species, birds and diurnal or nocturnal arboreal mammals, were observed, while one terrestrial rodent was collected in traps baited with S. erichsonii seeds or fruit pulp. One diurnal and one nocturnal mammal dispersed seeds at long distance. Arboreal frugivores consumed fruits as soon as they became ripe and also ate unripe fruits. Fruit-traps revealed a higher fruit removal during the night for the two more productive vines (‘instantaneous’ productivity). More than two-thirds of the seeds checked along transects unt...
