Figure 3.

One-year seedling survival, proportion of mortality caused by fungal pathogens, and seedling height (mean + 1 SD) for seeds dispersed by bellbirds (open bars) and four other species (shaded). Seeds dispersed by bellbirds were more likely to survive to 1 year (X² = 4.6, df = 1, P = 0.03), and the resulting seedlings (n = 17) were taller (t test = 2.37, df = 36, P = 0.02) than were seedlings from seeds dispersed by the other four species (n = 21). Bellbird sites had a lower incidence of mortality by fungal pathogens than did the seedlings from seeds dispersed by the other four species (X² = 4.28, df = 1, P = 0.03).
