The role of dung beetles in seed dispersal in an arid environment

The role of dung beetles in seed dispersal in an arid environment

Dung beetles can influence seedling emergence and survival. However, the direction and magnitude of this effect will depend on the functional traits of the dung beetle community and on the prevailing environmental conditions. We studied the role of dung beetles in seed dispersal of Prosopis flexuos...
