The consumption of Mountainpine seeds (Pinus uncinata) by small vertebrates before their dispersal was studied in a forest of the Eastern Pyrénées (Osséja, 42° 23’ N, 2° E). Seed production was estimated, and predation signs (exploited cones, seed wings) convertible into numbers of seeds eaten by each identified consumer, were counted. The field work was carried out between Autumn 1981 and Autumn 1982, in five areas with different tree densities. The Common Crossbill (Loxia curvirostra), which was responsible for the largest consumption (15 to 31 % of the 1981 production) and is almost exclusively granivorous, adapted its movements to the spatial and temporal variability of the seed supply, and had a major impact on seed production in the f...
