Transition probabilities from pollination to establishment in a rare dioecious shrub species (Rhamnus ludovici‐salvatoris) in two habitats (2003, background): “Maximal seed rain under conspecific plants has been reported for other fleshy-fruited bird-dispersed species ( Alcantara et al. 2000; references therein; Holl 2002) and is attributed to (i) birds spending long periods of time perching on the plants from which they feed and (ii) the dropping of frui”
Rodent acorn selection in a Mediterranean oak landscape (2007, background): “Rodents were the main agents in the acorn removal, as has been reported in other Mediterranean landscapes (Alcantara 2000; Gomez et al. 2003; Borchert 1989), and they clearly selected Qi acorns.”
Scatter-hoarding corvids as seed dispersers for oaks and pines: A review of a widely distributed mutualism and its utility to habitat restoration (2016, background): “Because animals rarely use the landscape in a random manner—for example, a disperser may avoid open spaces—differences in habitat composition and usage patterns can lead to differential seed deposition over a range of spatial scales (Alcántara et al. 2000, Rodríguez–Pérez et al. 2012).”
