Peduncles elicit large-mammal endozoochory in a dry-fruited plant.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Plants have evolved a variety of seed dispersal mechanisms to overcome lack of mobility. Many species embed seeds in fleshy pulp to elicit endozoochory, i.e. disseminating seed through the animal gut. In contrast to well-studied fleshy fruited plants, dry-fruited plants may expl...
