Deciphering the effects of disperser assemblages and seed mass on patterns of seed dispersal in a rodent community

A Wrobel, R Zwolak - Integrative Zoology, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
The sizes of both seed dispersers and seeds are traits that are likely to interact to influence
seed fate in many synzoochoric plant species. Here, we examined whether members of a
granivorous rodent community consisting of species of different body size vary in their
effectiveness as seed dispersers, and how this relationship may be altered by seed size. We
marked northern red oak (Quercus rubra) acorns with plastic tags and placed them in size‐
selective rodent exclosures. The exclosures allowed differential access of rodent groups …
