Invasive shrubs amplify seasonal granivory, revealing optimal windows for seed survival following invasive shrub removal by Mark E. Fuka, John L. Orrock

“…These results indicate that, following removal of invasive shrubs, sowing seeds in winter may optimize seedling establishment by minimizing granivory. Our findings further reinforce the importance of removing invasive shrubs as an important restoration tool because invasions may amplify granivory throughout the year. …”
