The study investigates the role of long-distance seed dispersal by tapirs in enhancing seed survival and creating aggregated distributions of the palm Maximiliana maripa in a Neotropical forest. It finds that seeds dispersed far from parent trees experience lower predation by bruchid beetles, leading to higher survival rates compared to seeds near parent trees. The research suggests that understanding the movements of large animals like tapirs is crucial for explaining tree aggregation patterns in tropical
