Article Synopsis
- Rodents play a crucial role in maintaining oak populations, especially in areas where birds that can disperse seeds are not effective.
- Their foraging decisions are influenced by factors like seed value, competition, and risks from predators, which vary in different environments.
- Experiments showed that mice adapt their foraging strategies based on their surroundings, which affects the survival rates of acorns; effectively, this highlights the importance of having diverse consumers and predators to support local acorn dispersal.
