Number of seeds recorded from the feces of different species of mammals during the study

Senna spectabilis, a native tree of tropical America is rapidly colonizing the forests of Western Ghats. We identified the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) as the major disperser of Senna, with the dung facilitating germination of the species. The study provides critical information for the management of Senna in tropical Asia, elephants, Western Ghats, Senna spectabilis, and seed dispersal.
