Herbivores and the Number of Tree Species in Tropical Forests
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
Any event that increases the efficiency of the predators at eating seeds and seedlings of a given tree species may lead to a reduction in population density of the adults of that species and/or to increased distance between new adults and their parents.
