Cones structure and seed traits of four species of large‐seeded pines: Adaptation to animal‐mediated dispersal

Abstract Seed dispersal selection pressures may cause morphological differences in cone structure and seed traits of large‐seeded pine trees. We investigated the cone, seed, and scale traits of four species of animal‐dispersed pine trees to explore the adaptations of morphological structures to diff...
