Examples of electrofluorograms showing the comparison between tissue from the mother tree and from seed coats for markers Parpan 4 and Parpan 5.

<p>x-axis: fragment length (number of bases), y-axis: signal intensity. In all cases the diploid heterozygous genotypes exhibit more than just two peaks. This is due to stuttering which is common. The true allele is the one with the highest signal intensity.</p

Frequency distribution of dispersal distances as determined by observational and genetic methods.

<p>Observational methods used the following criterion for inclusion of seeds: between the feeding on fruits of a particular <i>Parkia</i> individual and the defecation of <i>Parkia</i> seeds, no other <i>Parkia</i> individual must have been visited. Genetic methods used DNA fingerprinting to assign seeds to a source trees.</p

Distribution fitting to the dispersal distance distributions obtained with observational (A) and genetic methods (B).

<p>Fitted distributions do not differ between genetically and observationally obtained dispersal distance distributions.</p

Number of seeds assigned to source trees and mean dispersal distances per source tree.
