Evidence for Seed Dispersal by Rodents in Tropical Montane Forest in Africa

Biotropica, Volume 43, No. 6, Year 2011

Seed dispersal by rodents has been understudied in Africa. Based on seed-removal experiments, the presence of seeds in burrows and caches, cotyledon burial of seedlings, and images from camera traps, we provide evidence that rodents (Cricetomys kivuensis) remove and hoard large seeds of Carapa grandiflora in Nyungwe National Park, Rwanda. © 2011 by The Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation.
