Avian gut passage reduces seed exit costs in Sorbus aucuparia (Rosaceae) as measured by a diametral compression test

Reduced seed exit costs have been suggested to explain advanced seedling emergence and increased seedling growth in Sorbus aucuparia L. (Rosaceae; rowan) following Turdus spp. (Turdidae; thrush) gut passage. In the present study, seed coat tension strength of Turdus merula L. (Turdidae; blackbird) g...
