Summary, etc. To cope with the limiting light conditions in the rain forest understory, many tropical tree species have evolved large seeds that provide the emerging seedlings with nutritional reserves. Habitat fragmentation might change the adaptive value of seed size by modifying the biotic and physical conditions of the forest understory. We experimentally assessed the potential of fragmentation to alter how seed mass affects seedling survival, vigor, and attack by natural enemies of the tropical tree Nectandra ambigens. Seeds from different mother trees (families)were individually weighed and sown in experimental sites established in continuous forest and in forest fragments. Seedling survival, vigor, and damage by herbivores and pathogens were recorded periodically. While seedlings derived from larger seeds had higher survival rates in both habitats, seedling survival and vigor were significantly greater in forest fragments, and the seedlings also suffered fewer attacks by natural enemies. We found genetic variance for seed mass among families with a heritability value (h2)of 0.66, and we found evidence for selection on seed size. Average seed size differed between dead and living seedlings in three sites. In one fragment, seed size was selectively neutral in relation to survival. Overall, selection for seed size promoted survival and thus appears to affect the distribution of this trait. The maintenance of genetic variance could be related to the stochastic nature of the formation of light gaps. Our results highlight the importance of evaluating the adaptive value of traits susceptible to environmental changes for conservation purposes.
