A single bird can “plant” up to 90,000 Whitebark Pine seeds each autumn

The birds, who nest exclusively in Whitebark Pines, eat harmful insects that would otherwise destroy the trees’ bark

It can produce up to a third fewer seeds in areas where its range overlaps with the bird, because of more efficient seed dispersal via the birds’ eating and excreting the seeds across a wider area
