Hematoxylin-eosin staining of hippocampal sections from

The
tree shrews get nectar, a valuable food source, and in return, the plants get to catch and absorb the
tree shrew's faeces which likely supplies the majority of nitrogen required by the plant.
When Emmons took her turn, however, she spotted potential dispersing agents that were less than elephantine: the plantain squirrel and a
