Interspecific competition in germination of bird-dispersed seeds in a habitat with sparse tree vegetation in South Africa
BACKGROUND: By transporting and scarifying the seeds during ingestion, avian frugivores reduce the competition with siblings, and may improve the germination which is critical for dispersal effectiveness and population recruitment. However, generally, there is limited knowledge on how deposited seed...
