Seed Predation Paradigm Shifts in Australia
Animals which specialise in eating seeds are known as seed predators. In the desert, their preferences for specific species of seeds can change the number and types of plants in an area by removing seeds from the bank they grow from. In many countries mammals are the main seed predators, followed by ants then birds. In Australia, ants are considered the most important seed predators, and mammals are considered unimportant.
