El establecimiento de plántulas puede estar limitado por la producción de semillas y asociada a la producción intermitente y sincronizada de semillas (masting) y/o por granivoría, o por falta de micrositios aptos para la germinación y crecimiento de las ...

Palms use a bluffing strategy to avoid seed predation by rats in Brazil. [PDF]
The goal of this study was to ascertain why the production of variable seediness is advantageous for Attalea phalerata palms. Our hypothesis was that variation reduces seed predation by the spiny rats Thrichomys pachyurus and Clyomys laticeps.

Response of lizard community structure to desert grassland restoration mediated by a keystone rodent [PDF]
Many grasslands in the Chihuahuan Desert have transformed to shrublands dominated by creosotebush (Larrea tridentata). Grassland restoration efforts have been directed at controlling creosotebush by applying herbicide over large spatial scales.

¿Varía la dieta de las aves granívoras en áreas pastoreadas en el desierto del Monte central? [PDF]
El ganado vacuno consume principalmente plantas de gramíneas, lo que provoca una reducción en la abundancia de sus semillas tanto en pie como en el banco del suelo.

Seasonal Variation in Small Mammal Granivory in Restored Tallgrass Prairie
Plant – animal interactions are strongly intertwined, as plant availability can limit the size and fecundity of consumer populations while consumers can limit plant production and diversity. Rodent-plant interactions in prairie systems are likely substantial and highly seasonal however this has not been rigorously tested.
