VOCAL RECOGNITION AND SOCIAL COGNITION IN THE ACORN WOODPECKER [PDF]
, 2019 The social intelligence hypothesis states that the social environment is the primary driver of the evolution of advanced cognition, and predicts that species with more complex social interactions will have more highly developed cognitive abilities. While

, 2010 1. Many plant species depend upon animals for seed dispersal, yet animals disperse seeds in pursuit of their own social and behavioural agendas. Animal social behaviour affects where and how they forage, so it must also shape patterns of seed dispersal.2.

Acorn Contribution to Mammalian Energetics
, 2005 Acorns are a highly nutritious food source for many mammal species including white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus), eastern gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinenis), and fox squirrels (S. niger). Oak trees (genus
