Birds as a dispersal agent for Acacia cyclops
The aims of this study were to: 1) estimate the quantity of seeds taken by birds in relation to the seed production of A. cyclops; 2) determine any selective feeding preferences for A. cyclops seeds, using Cape Turtle doves (Streptopelia capicola); 3) estimate the calorific utilization by Cape Turtl...
