Barbara K. Snow and David W. Snow have flown away

Snow, B.K.  & Snow, D. W. For students of frugivores and seed dispersal, these two names are inseparable (in french in the text). Two years after his wife Barbara, David passed away  on 4th February 2009. (Ibis Obituary). For many of us, their colleagues, young students in the 80's, they both were  our heroes, those leaders who paved our way.  David Snow was plenary speaker at FSD1985 in Los Tuxtlas, and the Snow's co-authored the Chapter #13. Since then, eggs hatched,  chicken reached adulthood, and are now dispersing seeds to the younger generation. See also Neotropicalbirdclub.org.
