• Differences of dispersal fitness of large and small acorns of Liaodong oak (Quercus liaotungensis) before and after seed caching by small rodents in a warm temperate forest, China (2008, background): “Several studies have demonstrated that scatter-hoarding rodents, both as consumers and dispersers of seeds, play an important role in the seed-to-seedling phase of plant regeneration (e.g. Jansen et al., 2004; Zhang et al., 2005; Theimer, 2005).”
• Moonlight and shelter cause differential seed selection and removal by rodents (2011, background): “The relative abundance of acorns versus rodents will play an important role, with more seeds dispersed and predated less under high seed/ rodent ratios (Theimer 2004; Zhang et al. 2008).”
• Do scatter hoarders trade off increased predation risks for lower rates of cache pilferage (2014, unknown): “Theimer TC. 2005.”
• Quantifying the outcome of plant-granivore interactions (2012, background): “in masting species: in non-mast years, scatterhoarders often consume most encountered seeds, possibly reducing plant recruitment, whereas in mast years scatterhoarders may be satiated and intensify caching, possibly improving recruitment (Theimer 2005).”
• Scatter hoarding by the Central American agouti: a test of optimal cache spacing theory (2009, unknown): “…Hopewell et al. 2008) to test this prediction in terms of economic value, that is, value-of-exchange, by comparing cache pilferage and cache spacing across a spatial gradient of ambient food availability, which we quantified as the number of seeds over relative agouti abundance (cf. Theimer 2005).”
