How does that work though? Like how do plants know who's eating them? Like is there a by-eonly communication that goes out? Are avocadoes currently aware of this and are they in process of getting smaller? Are the seeds in communication and like "hey guys, were not getting eaten and pooped by big guys any more, so we need to downsize a bit" 🤔

It's due to the fundamental mechanics of natural selection. Smaller avocados with smaller seeds likely got digested by stomach acid & so they never get to pass on their genetics. Over time, then only the larger seeds survive & so they propagate where as smaller ones didn't.
