Seed predation has the potential to drive a rare plant to extinction

2017-06-01

Abstract excerpt

Pre‐dispersal seed predation is sometimes considered unlikely to dramatically affect plant population growth because plants are generally expected to produce more seeds than there are safe sites for germination. Lupinus constancei is a rare herb of limited distribution, with fewer than 400 reproductive individuals restricted to a single square kilometre of north‐western California, USA. In addition to the vulnerab...
