摘　　要：Understanding the driving mechanism of the divergence of hoarding strategies of animals(i.e.,scatter-hoarding vs.larder-hoarding)is crucial to understand the ecological and evolutionary implications of plant-animal interactions.Zhang et al.(2022)compiled a global-scale dataset from the published literature including 183 species of seed-hoarding rodents,and concluded that phylogenetic conservatism,functional traits,and environmental factors counted for the hoarding behavior divergence of rodents.A more thought-provoking question may be asked:Do these variables contribute equally or not to explain the divergence of hoarding strategies?Here,we re-analyzed Zhang et al's(2022)dataset using partial Ralk calculation(Ives 2019)to parse out the relative contri-lik butions of these variables.
