• Fig. 1. Megafauna involved in distributing tropical tree seeds [3]: A – a tree from the genus Omphalocarpum (Congo rainforest) with large fruit on the trunk. The seeds of the tree are spread only by elephants because the fruit are very tightly attached to the trunks and can only be torn off with the great effort of large animals. Photo by David Beaune; B – forest elephants in the Mbeli River, Nouabalé Ndoki National Park, Congo. Photo by Thomas Breuer; C – seeds, fruit and seedlings of Poga oleosa, the seeds of which are carried by elephants.
