The germination percentage was calculated by dividing the number of germinated seeds by the number of germinated plus intact, non-germinated seeds.
They swallow the seeds of the majority of these and disperse them by depositing them intact in dung.
During the fruit production, pulpy and intact fruit is plentiful and easily available.
The only seeds they drop are those in intact fruit that are not eaten.
The number of sprouts produced was lower for hollow stumps than intact ones, significantly so for the 1- and 5-y-old sites.
We also recorded whether the stump was defective (hollow or split) or intact.
Since presumptions are a special case of defeasible rules, the notion of argument structure remains intact.
Within each gap or intact forest area, the quadrats were located randomly.
