Abstract
Post-dispersal predation in epiphytes is poorly documented. In
the course of a study on in situ germination of two Tillandsia species in a
deciduous forest in Yucatan, Mexico, post-dispersal seed predation rates by
the Yucatan deer mouse (Peromyscus yucatanicus) averaged 90%.
Post-dispersal predation was thus more limiting than drought.
