摘要: Larger species of seed-eating desert rodents were excluded from experimental plots while smaller, potentially competing allowed to enter. Density small granivores on these increased nearly 3.5 times that control but only after 8 months. These results indicate interspecific competition affects the abundance rodents; they also support indirect evidence for seeds influences organization rodent communities.
