Chimpanzees use long-term spatial memory to monitor large fruit trees and remember feeding experiences across seasons (2013, background): “Fruit discovery can be especially challenging for species living in rainforest habitat in which individual trees show complex reproduction patterns, often with unpredictable timing (Milton 1980, 1991; van Schaik et al. 1993; Sakai 2001; Janmaat et al. 2012).”
Nectar‐feeding bird and bat niches in two worlds: pantropical comparisons of vertebrate pollination systems (2008, background): “Sakai (2001) pointed out that annual flowering patterns are widespread in Neotropical forests (e.g. see Stiles, 1977, for a classical example of the regularity of hummingbird-pollinated Heliconia flowering seasons in a Costa Rican rain forest), whereas supra-annual flowering seasons are widespread…”
Botanical richness and endemicity patterns of Borneo derived from species distribution models (2009, background): “There is a possible relation to phenological diversity driven by seasonal differences in abiotic conditions such as temperature and humidity (Sakai 2001).”
Predicting phenology by integrating ecology, evolution and climate science (2011, background): “Such strategies appear to underlie many semi-arid systems (Venable, 2007) and monsoon tropical forests (Sakai, 2001), and should be further dependent on the generation time of species (Chesson, 2000).”
