Abstract

A literature synthesis concluded that small mammals have the greatest impact on post-dispersal removal of intermediate-sized seeds (Dylewski et al. 2020). However, this study failed to consider the duration of seed exposure to predators. Re-analyses of the corrected dataset revealed only a weak effect of seed mass on seed removal.
