Ecological characteristics of Brachchito populeus (Sterculiaceae) (kurrajog) i relatio to the ivasio of urba bushlad i south-wester "The ost strikig feature of the ivasio was the tedec of B. populeus to occur beeath other tree species, ad this was attributed to birds feedig o trasported fruit i trees ad rats buildig seed caches at their base...the foragig behaviour of the vertebrates a facilitate the dispersal of seeds for relativel log distaces awa fro paret plats." [exteral trasport & cachig b rodets] "Dispersal. Birds, rats ad possibl other aals." [seeds presuabl survive passage through guts of birds, but exteral dispersal also a occur] "Seeds that escape predatio for a trasiet seed bak ad geriate with the oset of the witer rais." "Fire histor appeared to have little effect o wood seed populatios, with ost species possessig either extreel sparse or o-existet seed baks, irrespective of fire histor. Coo species such as Acacia elleodora, Allocasuaria decaiseaa ad Brachchito populeus were abset i the seed bak, while Grevillea jucifolia, Acacia aeura ad A. kepeaa F.Muell. were preset but at ver low desities" [apparetl does ot for a seed bak i its ative rage] "Seedbak persistece.
