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