Avian seed dispersal out of the forests: A view through the lens of Pleistocene landscapes
Many European woody species are light‐demanding and fail to regenerate in the shaded interiors of temperate forests. Most of these species are dispersed by frugivorous and seed‐caching birds. The spatial patterns of avian seed dispersal in fragmented anthropogenic landscapes are congruent with an ecological and evolutionary history with open and semi ...
