The successional use of saguaro (Carnegiea gigantea) fruit by the coyote (Canis latrans Say, 1823) and desert fire ant (Solenopsis xyloni McCook, 1879) removes large numbers of saguaro seeds from those produced each year, which probably results in a measurable reduction of the saguaro recruitment.Note
