Is the change of plant–plant interactions with abiotic stress predictable? A meta‐analysis of field results in arid environments (2005, background): “Furthermore, measures like density, cover or biomass of naturally occurring plants in arid and semi-arid environments are affected by factors, such as the density of dispersers and predators (Rey & Alcantara 2000; Traveset, Riera & Mas 2001 ), that are beyond the binary interaction between two neig”
Ecology of fruit‐colour polymorphism in Myrtus communis and differential effects of birds and mammals on seed germination and seedling growth (2001, background): “…through animals on seedling growth (e.g. Dinerstein & Wemmer 1988; Quinn et al. 1994; Ocumpaugh et al. 1996; Paulsen 1998; Malo & Suárez 1999; Traveset et al. 2001) show that seedlings emerging from ingested seeds tend to be more vigorous than controls (but see, for instance, Miller 1995 and…”
Gut travellers: internal dispersal of aquatic organisms by waterfowl (2012, background): “Propagule size has been put forward as an important adaptive trait for terrestrial (e.g. Traveset et al., 2001) and aquatic propagules (e.g. DeVlaming & Proctor, 1968; Mueller & Journal of Biogeography 39, 2031–2040 ª 2012 Blackwell Publishing Ltd 2036 Valk, 2002; Soons et al., 2008; Wongsriphuek…”
Context‐dependent fruit–frugivore interactions: partner identities and spatio‐temporal variations (2013, background): “In addition, the environmental context may be an important source of variation in seed abundance, diversity and survival in mammal faeces (Traveset et al. 2001, Matías et al. 2010, Tsuji et al. 2011).”
Effects of gut passage on seed germination: do experiments answer the questions they ask? (2005, methodology): “The specific effects of gut passage on seeds can then be assessed visually through microscopy (Barnea et al. 1990; Lisci & Pacini 1994; Izhaki & Ne’eman 1997; Castilla 1999; Traveset et al. 2001; Schaumann & Heinken 2002), in addition to the usual germination tests.”
Assessing the benefits of frugivory for seed germination: the importance of the deinhibition effect (2006, background): “... a few studies have compared field and laboratory conditions (Traveset & Verdu 2002), and they have found, variously, a greater effect of treatments in the laboratory (Bustamante, Simonetti, & Mella 1992; Bustamante et al . 1993; de Figueiredo & Perin 1995; Yagihashi, Hayashida & Miyamoto 1998); ”
Seed dispersal of fleshy‐fruited invasive plants by birds: contributing factors and management options (2005, background): “Greater gut passage times increase both the potential for long distance dispersal (Levey & Sargent, 1987) and seed scarification by gut acids (Traveset et al ., 2001).”
Direct long‐distance dispersal shapes a New World amphitropical disjunction in the dispersal‐limited dung moss Tetraplodon (Bryopsida: Splachnaceae) (2014, background): “These studies suggest that bryophytes may be resistant to ingestion, although studies on seed plants have shown that resistance varies according to both vector and plant (Traveset et al., 2001) and that viability decreases in general with increasing time inside a bird (van Leeuwen et al.”
Comparative dispersal effectiveness of wigeongrass seeds by waterfowl wintering in south‐west Spain: quantitative and qualitative aspects (2002, background): “Recently, Traveset et al. (2001) reported differences in the effect of ingestion of seeds by two species of passerine birds.”
