(23 fig tree) and F. eximia Schott (12 fig tree) for 74 months in a remnant of seasonal semi-deciduous forest (23\u00b027\u2019S and 51\u00b015\u2019W), Southern Brazil and discussed their importance to frugivorous. Leaf drop, leaf flush, syconia production and dispersal were recorded. These phenophases occurred year-round, but seasonal peaks were recorded in both leaf phenophases for F. eximia and leaf flushing for F. adhatodifolia. Climatic variables analyzed were positively correlated with reproductive phenophases of F. adhatodifolia and negatively correlated with the vegetative phenophases of F. eximia. In despite of environmental seasonality, little seasonality in the phenology of two species was observed, especially in the reproductive phenology. Both species were important to frugivorous, but F. adhatodifolia can play a relevant role in the remnant.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/1519-6984.10614","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,20]],"date-time":"2015-11-20T21:58:40Z","timestamp":1448056720000},"page":"206-214","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Phenology of two Ficus species in seasonal semi-deciduous forest in Southern Brazil"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"75","author":[{"given":"E.","family":"Bianchini","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Estadual de Londrina, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J.
