The seeds of many woody plant species on Barro Colorado Island (BCI) are fed upon by
insect seed predators—insects that develop inside the seed, killing it in the process. Studies …

Plants are involved in different interactions with animals that may have contrasting effects on
their reproductive output. However, as multitrophic interactions are resource-mediated and …
