Foraging behaviour of scatter-hoarding gerbils (Gerbilliscus (Gerbillurus)) influences seed fate and dispersal for key plant species in the Namib Desert
Hairy-footed gerbils (Gerbilliscus (Gerbillurus) spp.) in the Namib Desert play a dual ecological role as both seed dispersers and predators, a behaviour typical of scatter-hoarding species. The fa...
