[Taxacom] Amborella fruit

[Ken Kinman]

Hi Maarten,
     I assume you are referring to my question.  Actually I wasn't asking 
about the pollinators (of the flowers), but rather what kind of birds 
probably eat the fruit and disperse the seeds.  I was looking at members of 
Order Psittaciformes as likely candidates, but it has been suggested to me 
that fruit pigeons likely eat the Amborella fruit.  But so far, I haven't 
heard from anyone who has actually witnessed what eats the Amborella fruit 
or found the seeds in fecal material or stomach contents.  So the question 
remains to be answered.
  -----Cheers,
           Ken Kinman
