"This book details the causes and consequences of oak forest structure. Oaks, Steele
argues, have formed a coevolutionary bond with their seed predators. This bond can
be understood by studying the complex interactions of rodent and jay scatter-hoarding,
partial seed predation due to acorn chemistry, the impact of oak forest predators
on seed predators, and the limiting effects of fallen nuts on insect damage. The book
will provide a comprehensive framework on which future research will build"
