    Birds as a dispersal agent for Acacia cyclops
    (1976) Glyphis, John; Siegfried, W Roy
    The aims of this study were to: 1) estimate the quantity of seeds taken by birds in relation to the seed production of A. cyclops; 2) determine any selective feeding preferences for A. cyclops seeds, using Cape Turtle doves (Streptopelia capicola); 3) estimate the calorific utilization by Cape Turtle doves of A. cyclops seeds; and finally, 4) assess any effects on the germination and viability of the A. cyclops seed which might result from its passage through bird gut.
