Conclusion
Hydrochory in tropical mountain systems has characteristic deposition patterns that do not agree with what has been observed in rivers with different geomorphological characteristics or in complete rivers (origin-mouth). In tropical mountain rivers, the contribution of propagules by other types of dispersal and the spatial and temporal changes in the local production of propagules by the riparian plant species have a decisive influence on the spatial and temporal patterns of deposition of the dispersed propagules by hydrochory. The dynamics of the transport of propagules in the water column remains unknown, so it is necessary to increase efforts to understand in depth the process of dispersion in mountain rivers.
