Common seed dispersers contribute most to the persistence of a fleshy-fruited tree
A decade-long study into seed dispersal of glossy buckthorn trees by animals in an old-growth Polish forest finds that tree population growth is more positively influenced by a small subset of common generalists rather than specialist frugivores.
