Abstract

We study acorn predation by insects, ungulates and small vertebrates in Mediterranean savannah-like forests and shrublands. The higher activity of rodents that we found in shrublands than in savannah-like forests, likely contributes to oak regeneration in these ecosystems as these animals can acts as disperser of acorns. Acorn predation by insects and ungulates were not significantly different among the two types of ecosystems.
