Description: Squirrels disperse acorns by burying them in the fall and then forgetting about some of them. But for white oaks, such as Quercus petraea in Europe, the acorns start to germinate in the fall, and as a result if the squirrels find the acorns in the spring they will find that most of the nutrition has been translocated down into the root. This helps more of the acorns survive.

It wasn't just passenger pigeon populations that were controlled by Native American hunting. As explained in my book, Forgotten Landscapes, Native hunting also controlled alligator and fish populations.
