Species, Diaspore Volume and Body Mass Matter in Gastropod Seed Feeding Behavior
BACKGROUND: Seed dispersal of ant-dispersed plants (myrmecochores) is a well studied ecosystem function. Recently, slugs have been found to act as seed dispersers of myrmecochores. The aim of our study was to (1) further generalize the finding that gastropods feed on seeds of myrmecochores and hence...
