Fig 4. Miconia irwinii diaspore removal by the ground-dwelling fauna in campo rupestre vegetation.

(A) Effects of gut passage (gut-passed vs. pulp-free seeds), distance from conspecific (near vs. far) and vertebrate exclosure (open vs. excluded) on the proportion of Miconia irwinii seeds removed. (B) Effects of fruit handling (partially defleshed vs. intact fruits), distance from conspecific and vertebrate exclosure on the proportion of Miconia irwinii fruits removed. Squares represent medians, boxes represent 25–75% percentiles, whiskers represent non-outlier ranges and circles show the outliers. Distinct letters denote significant differences among treatments.
