Tipu tree (tipuana tipu, fabaceae). Birds often fly far away from the parent plant and disperse the seeds in their droppings. They digest the soft fruit, but the seeds come out in their droppings.
Seeds can be dispersed when an animal consumes the seeds and later excretes it, or if the seed catches onto the fur/skin of the animal and falls off later.
The lesson seed dispersal shows how seeds get dispersed, the media that help seeds to disperse and the different agents of seed dispersal. Seeds can be dispersed away from the parent plant individually or collectively, as well as dispersed in both space and time. Many intact fruits and seeds can serve as fish bait, those of sonneratia, for example, for the catfish arius maculatus. Seeds that are dispersed and buried by ants have a number of advantages that make seedling growth more likely.
