Our experiments targeted five tree species, all of which are locally common: Acacia polyphylla (Fabaceae), Cedrela odorata (Meliaceae), Cordia alliodora (Boraginaceae),. Cryosophila stauracantha (Arecaceae) and Terminalia amazonia. (Combretaceae). These species represent a range of plant families, seed size and

Cryosophila is a genus of medium-sized fan palms that range from central Mexico to northern Colombia. Species in the genus can be readily distinguished from related genera by their distinctive downward-pointing spines on the stem, which are actually modified roots. They are known as the "Root Spine Palms".
Cryosophila ma,crocarpo. appears to be extremely rare, but its distribution and demography are too poorly known for an assess- ment of its conservation status. The populations of the remaining two species (C. stauracantha aird C. warscewiczii) are rapidly declining, but since these are the most widely distributed species.
