Abstract

ABSTRACT Ficus is one of the largest plant genera which are recognized as keystone species. In the previous studies on Ficus, seeds have been counted manually. The main objective of this study is to introduce a model for predicting the yield of seeds in two monoecious species. Three-dimensional magnitudes were measured, and the numbers of seeds were recorded per each fruit. Generalized additive models (GAM) and Poisson regression models were used for prediction. Fruit length is a significant predictor for both models. Moreover, it is observed that data classification as areas plays an important role in GAM. Poisson modeling of Ficus callosa gives better predictions than Ficus racemosa. Besides, predictions of both models are more accurate when the number of seeds is less than 1000.
