Seed predation
As a seed -eater ( also Granivoren or granivores ) are animals called which eat the seeds of plants to ensure adequate nutrition. This seed feeding may be a mortality factor for plants, the mast year is interpreted as a defense mechanism against seed -eaters to saturate the robber.
If the seed is able to survive in the animal, can take place by this one seed dispersal of plant species.
