Aims We examined the importance of partial seed consumption (cotyledon loss) by rabbits in the early establishment of seedlings of cork oaks restricted to nutrient-impoverished soils. Methods To determine the importance of cotyledons in the growth and development of seedlings, we simulated two levels of predation [light (30 % cotyledon loss) and heavy (60 % loss) partial consumption] and two soil...
Seed predation has traditionally been considered as simply a progressive loss of seeds. However, partial consumption of tree seeds may actually assist regeneration. We quantified partial consumption of acorns by the common rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in a cork oak forest in southwest Spain (Doñana Natural Park). To examine the effects of partial consumption on germination and seedling emergence,...
