Giant squirrels are considered an important component of forested ecosystems, and are advocated as indicators of forest health. The Malayan giant squirrel (MGS; Ratufa bicolor), one of the four giant tree squirrels in the Oriental region (the other three being R. affinis, R. indica and R. macroura), is found in the Malayan region, North East India and Myanmar. It is listed as Near Threatened (NT) by IUCN, in Appendix II of CITES and Schedule II of Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972.Full Text

For successful invasion into an ecosystem, a species always depends upon some traits such as high growth rate, successive reproduction, higher number of seeds with low mass, seed viability and seedling mortality1. Among these traits, the reproductive behaviour of a plant is mainly associated with its invasiveness2. Seed production and germination are the two key processes associated with the initial phase of plant establishment, which determine the fate of an invasive plant in a new region1, and that is especially true for annuals reproducing exclusively by seed3.Full Text
