You don’t taste the cinnamon as much as inhale its musky fragrance.
By doing so musky rat-kangaroos have the potential to significantly alter the fates of seeds.
It is possible that the caching rates vary depending on the nutritive value or palatability of each species of fruit to musky rat-kangaroos.
This suggests that musky rat-kangaroo caches may confer advantages to plants at a greater rate than rodent caches generally do.
When a conspecific approached, the first musky rat-kangaroo would run from the fruit-fall area with the fruit in its mouth.
I found no evidence to suggest that any diurnal frugivores other than musky rat-kangaroos interfered with the simulated fruits.
