It is possible that the caching rates vary depending on the nutritive value or palatability of each species of fruit to musky rat-kangaroos. This suggests that musky rat-kangaroo caches may confer advantages to plants at a greater rate than rodent caches generally do. When a conspecific approached, the first musky rat-kangaroo would run from the fruit-fall area with the fruit in its mouth. I found no evidence to suggest that any diurnal frugivores other than musky rat-kangaroos interfered with the simulated fruits. It is therefore likely that musky rat-kangaroos also scatter-hoard fruits and seeds. All seeds placed at trees had the flesh removed, so that seed removal could be attributed to rats rather than the frugivorous musky rat kangaroo. The high levels of seed predation by rodents seem to be one of the main behavioural differences between musky rat-kangaroos and rodents. However, this study has shown that musky rat-kangaroos consume and carry fruits of all sizes, particularly the larger ones, which are not well dispersed by other frugivores except cassowaries. It is therefore reasonable to expect a greater rate of caching by musky rat-kangaroos prior to the season of reduced fruit availability, during the peak of abundance. The musky rat-kangaroo would then cover the area with leaf litter using its nose and mouth and finally the litter would be patted down with the hands. However, this did not measure the total number of fruits likely to be handled by musky ratkangaroos, as it did not incorporate fruits that had been dispersed or cached. Given this, it is possible that they compete with musky rat-kangaroos for the recovery of seeds from caches despite the likely differences in cache site selection.
