ABSTRACT A mechanistic understanding of seed movement and survival is important both
for the development of theoretical models of plant population dynamics, spatial spread, and …

Foliar nyctinasty is a plant behaviour characterised by a pronounced daily oscillation in leaf
orientation. During the day, the blades of nyctinastic plant leaves (or leaflets) assume a more …

Scatter-hoarding rodents play a central role in seed dispersal, predating and dispersing
seeds that affect many plant species' population dynamics and influence forest regeneration …

The role a small marsupial, the woylie Bettongia penicillata, might play in the recruitment
and regeneration of Western Australian sandalwood Santalum spicatum through its seed …

The predator‐avoidance hypothesis states that once released from the parent plant,
myrmecochorous seeds are rapidly taken by ants to their nests, where they are protected …

Context Poison baits are often used to control both foxes and feral cats but success varies
considerably. Aims This study investigated the influence of bait type, placement and lures on …

Because it is difficult and often impossible to distinguish dispersal, consumption and caching
of seeds among different rodent species in the field, the differences of sympatric rodent …

The fate of dispersed seeds from mammal faeces depends both on the animal that finds the
seeds and environmental conditions. We explored the simultaneous influence of …

Multiple factors affect seed predation, including seed traits, habitat type, seed predator
community composition, predation risk, and seasonality. How all these factors and their …

We examined the removal of Prosopis flexuosa pods by small rodents, and addressed four
specific questions:(1) do Monte Desert small rodents remove mesquite pods?(2) if they do …
