What acceleration data from wildlife collars and animal body mass tell us about seed dispersal

Abstract Background The seeds of many plant species can be dispersed over long distances in animal fur (epizoochory). Quantifying epizoochory in the wild is, however, challenging, since it is difficult to measure the retention times of seeds in fur. These retention times depend on the acceleration t...
