Plant-animal mutualism: coevolution with dodo leads to near extinction of plant.

S A Temple.   

Abstract

An endemic sapotaceous tree Calvaria major found on the island of Mauritius is nearly extinct because its seeds apparently required passage through the digestive tract of the now-extinct dodo Raphus cucullatus to overcome persistent seed coat dormancy caused by a specially thickened endocarp.
