Observational analysis shows plant removal by native rodents in Madagascar, suggesting ecological implications for seed dispersal.
In a seasonal dry forest in Madagascar, we used camera traps to observe seed and fruit removal of 19 plant species. Macrotarsomys ingens , a native rodent, conducted most of the removals, with a preference for certain plant species, and provided the first evidence of scatter‐hoarding by rodents in Madagascar.
