By dispersing the seeds of plants,
fruit-eating animals contribute to the possibility of increased plant
speciation and thus biodiversity. These are the findings of a new study led by
Renske E. Onstein and W. Daniel Kissling, researchers at the University of
Amsterdam's Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics (IBED). The
results were published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution.
