Extracts from the Article What's this?

Of the relocated samples, most were scatterhoarded in the soil, and the rest were eaten (Table 3 ).

Only three seedlings established in the field (Table 3 ), and all germinated from unremoved samples.

Although most seeds were ultimately predated by these rodents in our experiments (Tables 2 , 3 ), 39% of Canarium seeds were initially cached by rodents (Table 2 ) and 3–13% of Canarium seeds were known to be cached (Table 3 ).

All established seedlings that we found had germinated from undispersed seeds buried in the soil (Table 3 ).
