What could this article on the role of elephants in dispersing seeds and generating savanna ecologies have to do with a common local tree that Nuttall describes and we will see?
Reply from Jacob Dyer: Osage-orange! The fact it is now “missing” its megafaunal seed disperser – though now I would argue that rather than being endozoochorous, it is now spread by moving water! Rheochory? Don’t know that right term for that. Same for KY coffeetree!
