Post-dispersal seed predation by three subsets of seed consumers as derived from the experimental exclosures operating at 29 oak treess in 2009-2020. ;Density of wild boars during the study period (2009-2020) as estimated by the Polish State Forests. Shading highlights the period ASF epidemic. ;A picture of experimental set-up that allowed us to measure seed predation rates by different subsets of seed consumers, i.e., seed predation by all predators (on the 50 50 cm frame at ground level) and without ungulates (inside the fenced plots, upper left corner) and without all seed predators (in the blue seed bag).
