### Importance of Acorns in Forest Ecology
Acorns, particularly from oak trees like *Quercus robur*, play a crucial role in forest ecosystems, especially in areas where oaks are abundant. The annual acorn crop can vary significantly, leading to either plentiful food sources or scarcity for wildlife that relies on them.
Many animals depend on acorns as a vital part of their diet. Birds such as jays, pigeons, certain duck species, and various woodpeckers are frequent consumers. Small mammals, including mice, squirrels, and other rodents, also rely heavily on acorns. Additionally, the beetle species *Thorectes lusitanicus* feeds on these nuts.
The availability of acorns has a substantial impact on rodent populations, as higher acorn yields can lead to population growth among these small mammals. In summary, acorns are essential for maintaining the balance of forest ecosystems, supporting a diverse range of wildlife.
