I guess making yourself delicious to one species might sometimes entail inadvertently making yourself delicious to another species even if the latter one isn’t beneficial. Also in many cases the fruit probably isn’t aiming to be completely eaten. They just want to be collected and taken elsewhere. Even if most of the seeds are then eaten and destroyed by digestion, a few will end up on the ground, uneaten.
- smusamashah 4y agoCollected and taken elsewhere. This is very reasonable. On another note, I disagree with the 'want to' wording of species evolving. This implies that evolution is in control of species and they intelligently 'design' their next offspring to be more adaptive. This confused me for a very long time about evolution. While in reality they evolved when only mutations of the specie with adaptive traits survived. Rest died out. That's what survival of the fittest really means.
