Gomes et al report a study that investigates the fruiting seasonality of Myrcia neoregeliana, a species endemic to Brazil, in the Chapada Diamantina mountains. The researchers examined interannual differences in fruiting dates and identified environmental factors related to fruiting. They found that fruiting in M. neoregeliana occurs at the end of the rainy season and is influenced by temperature and rainfall. The study also observed bird species visiting the fruits and identified Turdus leucomelas and Dacnis cayana as potential dispersers of M. neoregeliana. The authors highlight the importance of understanding the dispersal processes associated with fruiting rhythms for the conservation of this species and effective forest management. The findings of the study intend to contribute to the knowledge of the ecological interactions and phenology of Myrtaceae species in neotropical forests.
