Navigating novel resources: A field test of the effects of small mammal personality on dispersal of Quercus seeds by Ivy Yen, Alessio Mortelliti

“…Personality may be critical to consider in the context of novel seeds as inexperienced individuals may default to specific behavioral tendencies and foraging strategies when deciding if and how to utilize resources. In a large‐scale field experiment in central Maine (USA), we examined seed selection behavior in two species of small mammals (Peromyscus maniculatus and Myodes gapperi) for eight species of Quercus acorns—two of which are native to Maine and six of which are novel to our populations but expected to migrate northward. …”
