Matapalo > Ficus altissima
Life cycle:
Germinates as epiphyte from seed dispersed by birds and monkeys.
Seedling sends roots from high in the trees to the ground.
Plant starts to grow very quickly, surrounding and often suffocating host tree.
When host dies, Matopalo survives as an enormous upright pipe, which is able to live for hundreds of years.
Niche:
Matapalos ( strangler figs ) are tall canopy trees ( up to 148 feet in height.) of tropical rain forrest, bearing lots of sweet fruits and are in this way producers of food for lots of birds and animals ( in some forests up to 70% of its animal’s diets depend on figs, ), and these fruit eaters ( herbivores ) are important knots in the food web of Matopalos niche, f.e. in Peruvian jungle.
and the number of fruit-eaters determines the number of predators of fruit-eaters.
