Boom and bust cycles of acorn production do have an evolutionary benefit for oak trees through âpredator satiation.â The idea goes like this: in a mast year, predators (chipmunks, squirrels, turkeys, blue jays, deer, bear, etc.) canât eat all the acorns, leaving some nuts for growing into future oak trees.
1 TREES produce ACORNS which act as food for many MICE and INSECTS. 2  Because there are many MICE, WEASELS and SNAKES have food. 3  The insects and the acorns also attract BIRDS, SKUNKS, and OPOSSUMS. 4  With the SKUNKS, OPPOSUMS, WEASELS and MICE around, HAWKS, FOXES, and OWLS can find food.
