Abstract
Evidence is advanced suggesting that Phyllocaulis gayi, a large slug in the temperate forests of Chile, might be a significant but overlooked granivore. In a short-term experiment, up to 18% of seeds are preyed upon by P. gayi. The intensity of seed predation is significantly reduced in forest fragments
