• Towards better prediction of seed dispersal by animals (2010, background): “gules (seeds, fruits or other structures) dispersing by wind (e.g. Katul et al. 2005; Bohrer et al. 2008).”
• Plant fecundity and seed dispersal in spatially heterogeneous environments: models, mechanisms and estimation (2008, background): “Alternatively, these effects can be modelled based on mechanistic considerations (e.g. of how vegetation alters mean wind speed and turbulence; Bohrer et al. 2008).”
• Long-distance gene flow and adaptation of forest trees to rapid climate change (2012, background): “Lagrangian dispersal (glossary) simulations can account for dispersal anisotropy by incorporating turbulence patterns (Bohrer et al. 2008), and hourly, daily or seasonal variation in wind direction (Wright et al. 2008); this computationally-intensive approach, however, is practically limited to…”
• Ecology and management of invasive Pinaceae around the world: progress and challenges (2017, background): “…for plantations to reduce the risk of their dispersal from the plantations (Ledgard and Langer 1999), to improve plantation management and silvicultural practices (Greene et al. 2002; Bohrer et al. 2008), and to reduce seed dispersal and/or seedling establishment beyond plantation boundaries.”
• Interspecific variation in primary seed dispersal in a tropical forest (2008, background): “The development of ever-better mechanistic models of seed dispersal by wind will continue to improve our understanding of dispersal patterns in wind-dispersed plant species (Nathan et al. 2001; Tackenberg 2003; Soons et al. 2004; Bohrer et al. 2008; Pounden et al. 2008).”
• Mechanistic models of seed dispersal by wind (2011, methodology): “Spatial heterogeneity of the canopy, particularly in the organization of canopy top heights leads to increased uplift above particular areas, termed hot spots of dispersal (Bohrer et al. 2008, 2009).”
