• Beyond species loss: The extinction of ecological interactions in a changing world (2015, background): “Similar examples have been reported for flying foxes, gorillas and elephants for which overhunting and habitat loss has resulted in a recruitment reduction of a significant number of large-seeded species (McConkey & Drake 2006; Beaune et al. 2013; Haurez, Petre & Doucet 2013).”
• Forest biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and the provision of ecosystem services (2017, background): “412 Reduced or absent populations of seed-dispersing animals result in poor to no dispersal, especially of 413 large-seeded trees that depend on large animals such as elephants (Anzures-Dadda et al. 2011; Brodie 414 and Aslan 2012; Beaune et al. 2013).”
• Overfishing disrupts an ancient mutualism between frugivorous fishes and plants in Neotropical wetlands (2015, background): “of elephant-dependent large seeded-trees due to increased predation of undispersed seeds (Beaune et al., 2013).”
