Dispersal, demography and spatial population models for conservation and control management (2008, background): “…be important to understand the movement of other organisms as well, for instance when animals move seeds (Russo et al., 2006; Vellend et al., 2006; Jordano et al., 2007) or when herbivores coinvade (Fagan et al., 2005) or have specifically been introduced for biocontrol (Fagan et al., 2002) or…”
Context‐dependent fruit–frugivore interactions: partner identities and spatio‐temporal variations (2013, background): “…mammal faeces may contain seeds at different densities and survival probabilities as a result of the animal species involved (Traveset and Verdú 2002, Jordano et al. 2007) and the chemical and physical fruit and seed properties (Murray et al. 1994, Verdú and Traveset 2004, Traveset et al. 2008).”
Plant Parentage, Pollination, and Dispersal: How DNA Microsatellites Have Altered the Landscape (2010, methodology): “A recent and more productive approach has been the use of maternally inherited seed tissue, including endocarp (Garcia et al., 2007; Godoy and Jordano, 2001; Isagi et al., 2007; Jordano et al., 2007; Terakawa et al., 2009) pericarp (Grivet et al.”
Quantifying the Contribution of Organisms to the Provision of Ecosystem Services (2009, background): “We speculate that for long-lived species, an emphasis on maintaining populations of key species may be a more fruitful approach for the protection of ecosystem services than attempts to maximize diversity within a functional group (e.g., Jordano et al. 2007).”
Recruitment limitation of forest communities in a degraded Mediterranean landscape (2009, background): “In addition, birds are important long-distance dispersers and their movements may also reduce differences in seed deposition among landscape units (Garcı́a et al. 2005; Jordano et al. 2007).”
Seed dispersal by dabbling ducks: an overlooked dispersal pathway for a broad spectrum of plant species (2016, background): “Within the field of plant dispersal research, the study of dispersal of seeds within fleshy fruits by frugivorous animals is a major topic (> 1279 papers, ISI Web of Knowledge, June 2014; e.g. Jordano et al. 2007, 2011; Spiegel & Nathan 2007).”
Seed dispersal by a frugivorous marsupial shapes the spatial scale of a mistletoe population (2009, background): “Additionally, some dispersers may generate seed clumps in locations far away from adult plants, but spatially associated with perching structures, resting sites, heterospecific fruiting canopies and latrine areas (Fragoso et al. 2003; García et al. 2007; Jordano et al. 2007).”
Plant functional connectivity – integrating landscape structure and effective dispersal (2017, positive): “…the maternally inherited endocarp (which in some species is transported with the seed) of dispersed seeds and relating it to the source ‘ mother ’ tree, Jordano et al. (2007) were able to identify how animal seed dispersers differentially deposited seeds of the same species over different…”
Measuring long‐distance seed dispersal in complex natural environments: an evaluation and integration of classical and genetic methods (2008, background): “Recently, a novel genetic technique that uses genotypes of maternal tissue attached to seeds (endocarps, fruit, or seed wings) to unequivocally match dispersed seeds to maternal source trees has been used to measure seed dispersal distances within large complex natural systems (Godoy & Jordano 2001;”
Birds and ants provide complementary seed dispersal in a neotropical savanna (2010, neutral): “…Böhning-Gaese, Gaese & Rabemanantsoa 1999; Christianini & Oliveira 2009), although different dispersal modes may have distinct consequences for the spatial pattern of plant recruitment and dispersal (Horvitz & Le Corff 1993), and for the genetic structure of populations (Jordano et al. 2007).”
Who dispersed the seeds? The use of DNA barcoding in frugivory and seed dispersal studies (2014, background): “Two methodological challenges that have hindered advances in our understanding of vertebrate-mediated dispersal are the identification of seed sources (“from which fruitbearing tree did the frugivore ingest the seeds?”) and the identification of the frugivore species disseminating seeds in a particu”
