Predators and dispersers: Context-dependent outcomes of the interactions between rodents and a megafaunal fruit plant
Many plant species bear fruits that suggest adaptation to seed dispersal by extinct megafauna. Present-day seed dispersal of these megafaunal plants is carried out by rodents, which can act as predators or dispersers; whether this interaction is primarily positive or negative can depend on the conte...
