Seed dispersal by fishes in tropical and temperate fresh waters: The growing evidence (2011, background): “All rights reserved. species involved and the intact functioning of ecosystems (Howe and Smallwood, 1982; Nathan and Muller-Landau, 2000; Herrera, 2002; Tiffney, 2004; Bolmgren and Eriksson, 2010).”
Seed dispersal by ungulates as an ecological filter: a trait-based meta-analysis (2015, background): “For endozoochory, this highlights the difference between the seed dispersal syndromes of herbivores and frugivores, such as many birds (Herrera 2002), although some fleshy-fruited species (e.g. Rubus idaeus) were reported to be dispersed by all members of an ungulate guild in a forest ecosystem…”
Context‐dependent fruit–frugivore interactions: partner identities and spatio‐temporal variations (2013, background): “Fleshy fruits are commonly consumed by a wide assemblage of frugivores, each of which consumes a subset of the available fruits that overlaps slightly or greatly with the subsets consumed by other frugivores in the assemblage (Howe and Smallwood 1982, Herrera 2002, Dennis et al. 2007).”
VERTEBRATE DISPERSAL OF SEED PLANTS THROUGH TIME (2004, background): “Tropical Data: A Key Missing Element A core requirement for a better understanding of the evolution of dispersal relationships is better fossil data from the tropics, particularly because modern vertebrate dispersal is so important in these communities (Herrera 2002).”
Evolution of Seed Size and Biotic Seed Dispersal in Angiosperms: Paleoecological and Neoecological Evidence (2008, background): “…generally considered as ‘‘diffuse,’’ meaning that the interaction occurs between a whole group of plants (e.g., several species with a certain type of fleshy fruits) and a whole group of animals (e.g., frugivorous primates; Howe and Smallwood 1982; Wheelwright and Orians 1982; Herrera 1985, 2002).”
Fruit tracking between sites and years by birds in Mediterranean wintering grounds (2008, background): “In the Mediterranean, mutualistic bird plant relationships have been intensively studied (Herrera 2002), but whether bird numbers track fruit abundance is not understood.”
Seed dispersal of fleshy‐fruited invasive plants by birds: contributing factors and management options (2005, background): “…, 11 , 549–558, © 2005 Blackwell Publishing Ltd 551 present a highly simplified outline of those considered important below, but encourage readers unfamiliar with the frugivory literature to read more comprehensive reviews on this topic (e.g. Herrera, 2001; Levey & Martínez del Rio, 2001).”
Management of plant invasions mediated by frugivore interactions (2006, unknown): “Mutualistic seed–dispersal interactions are typically generalized and diffuse, with each plant species being consumed and dispersed by a range of different frugi-vores, and vice versa (Herrera 2002).”
Invasional meltdown potential: Facilitation between introduced plants and mammals on French Mediterranean islands (2005, background): “For example, animal plant-dispersers can benefit from the increased food availability produced by a highly productive exotic plant in exchange for the movement of exotic seeds they provide (Richardson et al., 2000; Herrera, 2002).”
Modelling long‐distance seed dispersal in heterogeneous landscapes (2008, unknown): “The seed dispersal literature contains many descriptive studies of frugivore behaviour, empirical data on seed rain, and phenomenological models that together provide rich detail about the quality and quantity of animal-mediated seed dispersal (Schupp & Fuentes 1995; Herrera 2002; Levey et al .”
Moonlight and shelter cause differential seed selection and removal by rodents (2011, background): “Some guilds are known to consume the whole seed leading to seed death (predators), whereas others can also act as effective seed dispersers (Herrera 2002).”
Effects of gut passage on seed germination: do experiments answer the questions they ask? (2005, background): “Common to all results, however, is the potential importance of being dispersed away from the parent plant (Howe & Miriti 2000; Herrera 2002).”
Frugivory of carnivores and seed dispersal of fleshy fruits in cool-temperate deciduous forests (2008, background): “Fleshy fruits are generally thought to be dispersed solely by birds (Herrera 2002), but our findings indicate that carnivores also function as important seed dispersers.”
Are you strong enough to carry that seed? Seed size/body size ratios influence seed choices by rodents (2008, background): “…have obvious fitness consequences for the plant and for seed-size evolution, as by being dispersed the seeds avoid the predation risk under the mother plant and may be carried to safe microsites for germination and seedling growth (Herrera 2002; Pulido & Dı́az 2005; Muñoz & Bonal 2007).”
Ecosystem Services Provided by Birds (2008, background): “Ecological and evolutionary aspects of seed dispersal have been reviewed several times (van der Pijl 1972; Howe 1986; Willson 1986; Jordano 2000; Willson & Travaset 2000; Herrera 2002).”
