Days are not spent in an idyllic immobility, basking in the sun watching visiting birds and mammals. Not only are there thunder storms, dark nights, bird droppings and even fire - there is competition.

For those who do not consider seed dispersal to be a competitive feature, think about the following mechanisms. Ants and wattles have a close relationship.
