Germination trials, vegetation and phenology surveys were also undertaken. This provided information regarding a number of important questions: i) Do carnivores differ in the extent that they consume fleshy fruit? ii) What is the fruit component of carnivore diets? iii) Do carnivores consume a specific subset of fruit species available or are fruits consumed at random? iv) What are the characteristics of the seed shadows produced by different carnivore species?}, keywords = {Mammalia}, author = {Giannakos, P.} } @article {14810, title = {Geographical distribution and interpopulation variation in the karyotypes of Microtus (Terricola) thomasi (Rodentia, Arvicolidae) in Greece}, journal = {CaryologiaCaryologia}, volume = {50}, number = {3}, year = {1997}, note = {TY - JOURCited By (since 1996): 4Export Date: 7 September 2006Source: ScopusReferences: Brunet-Lecomte, P., Nadachowski, A., Comparative analysis of the characters of the first lower moral in Microtus (Terricola) thomasi (Rodentia, Arvicolidae) (1994) Acta Zool.
