Within-Species Trait Variation Can Lead to Size Limitations in Seed Dispersal of Small-Fruited Plants
The inability of small-gaped animals to consume very large fruits may limit seed dispersal of the respective plants. This has often been shown for large-fruited plant species that remain poorly dispersed when large-gaped animal species are lost due to anthropogenic pressure. Little is known about wh...
