Oak Seed Dispersal : A Study in Plant-Animal Interactions /

"This book details the causes and consequences of oak forest structure. Oaks, Steele argues, have formed a coevolutionary bond with their seed predators. This bond can be understood by studying the complex interactions of rodent and jay scatter-hoarding, partial seed predation due to acorn chem...

520 |a "This book details the causes and consequences of oak forest structure. Oaks, Steele argues, have formed a coevolutionary bond with their seed predators. This bond can be understood by studying the complex interactions of rodent and jay scatter-hoarding, partial seed predation due to acorn chemistry, the impact of oak forest predators on seed predators, and the limiting effects of fallen nuts on insect damage. The book will provide a comprehensive framework on which future research will build"--  |c Provided by publisher.
