Abstract: Many plants rely on herbivores to disperse their seeds. The plants present the seeds in a bright, tasty packaging, tempting herbivores to eat them. But what happens if the herbivore is then eaten by a predator? A study of fruit-eating lizards in the Canary Islands suggests that viable seeds can be ingested by the predator and taken on to new locations.
