Ecological adaptations

An ecological adaptation is any morphological, physiological, or behavioral trait of an organism that allows it to survive and reproduce in a habitat or ecosystem. Adaptation is a biological mechanism by which an organism gradually gets more acclimated to its surroundings.

All but one species of large birds native to New Zealands tropical forests are now extinct. Numbers of the one surviving species, the kereru (Hemiphaga, novae seelandine), are declining rapidly due to habitat loss, poaching, predation, and interspecies competition that wiped out the other native birds. The keruru is the only remaining dispersal agent for several native tress that produce big seeds and fruits, mainly because it is the only remaining species that can swallow big fruits (left) and expel big seeds whole. One of these trees, the puriri (Vitex lucens), is New Zealands most valued hardwood. Explain, in terms of natural selection, what would happen to puriri trees in New Zealand if the kereru becomes extinct.
