Zusammenfassung: | The Tropical Black Sage Varronia curassavica Jacq. is a widespread shrub in Brazil, which has become invasive in some parts of the world. We recorded 24 bird species consuming its fruits and potentially dispersing its seeds at Alberto Löfgren State Park, state of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil. It was first cultivated at this location, and despite the fact that it already is spreading naturally, the shrub remains restricted to more altered sites and does not constitute a threat to local biota. A erva-baleeira Varronia curassavica Jacq. é um arbusto amplamente disseminado no Brasil e que se tornou invasor em alguns locais do mundo. Nós registramos 24 espécies de aves consumindo seus frutos e potencialmente disseminando suas sementes no Parque Estadual Alberto Löfgren, São Paulo. Nesse local, ela foi inicialmente cultivada e, apesar de já estar se disseminando naturalmente, permanece restrita a áreas mais alteradas, não constituindo no momento ameaça à biota local. |
