We examined cache pilfering risk of a scatter-hoarding rodent Leopoldamys edwardsi and the successive fates of pilfered seeds by the sympatric rodent species at the community level. We showed that cache pilferers exhibiting scatter-hoarding behavior caused a majority of cache losses. Importantly, we found that pilfered seeds selectively re-cached by the scatter-hoarding pilferers depends on seed species, which is expected to play a crucial role in the secondary seed dispersal and then plant regeneration.
