Invasive plants often change fire regimes, nutrient cycles, and replace native species (D' Antonio & Vitousek, 1992, Mack et al. 2000, Vilá et al., 2011. Invasive success usually relies on a better performance of the invader compared with natives due to, for example, release from natural enemies and competitors (Levine et al., 2004), and fluctuations in resources that follows disturbances and that coincides with availability of propagules from invasive species (Davis et al., 2000). Establishment of mutualisms with native animals, such as pollination and seed dispersal, is also a key to invasive success (Richardson et al., 2000). As seed dispersal is important for patch colonization of plants, knowledge about dispersal of propagules is crucial to manage and control invasive species (Puth & Post, 2005).Signalgrass Urochloa decumbens (Stapf) R.D. Webster (syn.Brachiaria decumbens Stapf) is a perennial C4 African grass introduced in Brazil for cattle ranching in the 50s (Miles et al., 1996). This grass became popular and now ~45% of the Cerrado (~500,000 km²) is occupied by pastures planted with U. decumbens and other African grasses (Klink & Machado, 2005). Urochloa spp. (hereafter Urochloa) are aggressive invaders in tropical savannas and grasslands, including most of the protected areas of Cerrado (Durigan et al., 2007;
