影音備註
A lodgepole pine cone. Cones in the South Hills and Albion Mountains have elevated defenses against crossbills because of selection exerted by crossbills. This includes thicker scales in the distal half of the cone where crossbills generally forage for seeds. These cones have also lost defenses against American red squirrels because these squirrels are absent. Squirrels prefer cones with more seeds and a higher ratio of seed mass to cone mass, and thus the cones in the South Hills have around three times as many seeds (and ~3 times as much seed mass to cone mass) in them than where red squirrels are present. This photograph was taken on 8 June 2014
