It has been long thought that the primary way the bush tomatoes of the Australian Monsoon Tropics get their seeds moved around is by having animals ingest their fleshy fruits -- with the seeds reaching new places as they are deposited in the animals' waste. Our work, however, suggests that many of these fruits don't even get ingested. Instead, they stick to the outside of animals and get dragged around that way.
