Vinayan & Thyagarajan GaneshBiotropicaJune 28, 2021 Abstract* 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. *ABSTRACT WEB LINKhttps://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/btp.12996 <https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/btp.12996>*
