SpringerImages - Effects of a forest size and b month on the distance that seeds were hoarded. a In the continuous forest, 45% of the seeds were hoarded at distances greater than 7 m (n = 76); in 10-ha fragments, 29% of the seeds were hoarded at distances greater than 7 m (n = 134) (log linear model: forest size × distance interaction, χ df 2 = 1 = 7.62; P = 0.006). b In September, 43% of the seeds were hoarded at distances greater than 7 m (n = 53), whereas in June, only 35% (n = 49), and in April, only 31% (n = 108) were hoarded that far away from the seed station (log linear model: month × distance interaction: χ df 2 = 2 = 5.00; P = 0.08). One-hectare fragments were not considered for this analysis due to the small number of seeds hoarded (n = 9)

Extracts from the Article What's this?

In the continuous forest, 45% of the seeds were hoarded more than 7 m away from stations (n = 76 seeds), whereas in 10-ha fragments only 29% were hoarded more than 7 m away (n = 134 seeds; log linear model—forest size × distance interaction, χ _df²_= 1 = 7.62; P = 0.006; Fig. 3a).

The model also depicted a suggestive interaction between month and dispersal distance (χ _df²_= 2 = 5.00; P = 0.08; Fig. 3b), with more seeds apparently hoarded at distances greater than 7 m in September (43%, n = 53 seeds) than in June (35%, n = 49 seeds) which exceeded the percentage hoarded in April (31%, n = 108 seeds). .
