DO SMALL-SEEDED SPECIES HAVE HIGHER SURVIVAL THROUGH SEED PREDATION THAN LARGE-SEEDED SPECIES? (2003, background): “Small-seeded species produce more seeds per square meter of space occupied (Jakobsson and Eriksson 2000, Henery and Westoby 2001).”
Invasion success of exotic plants in natural ecosystems: the role of disturbance, plant attributes and freedom from herbivores (2004, background): “For a given allocation to reproduction, plants can produce few large seeds or more small seeds (Smith and Fretwell, 1974; Leishman et al., 2000; Henery and Westoby, 2001).”
Reproductive characteristics of neophytes in the Czech Republic: traits of invasive and non-invasive species. (2010, background): “This is because small seed mass is correlated with a high seed output (Henery & Westoby 2001), small seeds generally persist longer in the soil and form more persistent seed banks (Thompson et al. 1993), and small, long-lived and well-dispersed seeds are characteristic of plants adapted for rapid…”
Bivariate line‐fitting methods for allometry (2006, background): “2 is consistent with the value 2 3 , or 3 4 (Schoenemann, 2004), or to test if seed output of plant species is inversely proportional to seed mass (Henery & Westoby, 2001, for example).”
Simple traits do not predict grazing response in Australian dry shrublands and woodlands (2004, background): “of canopy ( Henery & Westoby 2001 ), smaller seeded species will have more colonization opportunities than large seeded species and so may increase in abundance under grazing (Westoby 1999).”
Geographical gradients in seed mass in relation to climate (2004, background): “A trade-off between seed mass and seed production has been demonstrated in earlier theoretical (Smith & Fretwell, 1974) and empirical (Henery & Westoby, 2001) work.”
Clonal growth and sexual reproduction: tradeoffs and environmental constraints (2015, background): “While most of the data show consistent negative correlations between seed size and seed production per area (Henery and Westoby 2001, Š er á and Š er ý 2004), seed production per plant individual depends on its size and plant age (Moles et al. 2004).”
Being John Harper: Using evolutionary ideas to improve understanding of global patterns in plant traits (2018, background): “We know that there is a negative isometric relationship (slope = −1) between seed mass and the number of seeds produced per unit of plant canopy area per year (Henery & Westoby, 2001; Figure 1a).”
Evolution of Seed Size and Biotic Seed Dispersal in Angiosperms: Paleoecological and Neoecological Evidence (2008, background): “(2) There is a trade-off between seed size and seed number, implying that an increasing seed size for a plant of a given size and resource allocation to seeds leads to a reduced seed production (Henery and Westoby 2001; Moles et al. 2004).”
Latitude, seed predation and seed mass (2003, background): “The smaller number of seeds produced by large-seeded species (Jakobsson & Eriksson, 2000; Henery & Westoby, 2001) is thought to be compensated for mainly during seedling establishment.”
The functional role of soil seed banks in natural communities. (2014, background): “As a rule of thumb, ten times smaller seeds can be produced in ten times higher number for a given canopy area (Aarssen and Jordan, 2001; Henery and Westoby, 2001; Moles and Westoby, 2002).”
Sprouting ability across diverse disturbances and vegetation types worldwide (2004, background): “reproductive allocation = seed mass × seed number ( Henery & Westoby 2001 ).”
Seedling survival and seed size: a synthesis of the literature (2004, background): “This expectation has been strongly supported by empirical data from many different ecosystems (Shipley & Dion 1992; Greene & Johnson 1994; Turnbull et al. 1999; Jakobsson & Eriksson 2000; Aarssen & Jordan 2001; Henery & Westoby 2001).”
Seed addition experiments are more likely to increase recruitment in larger‐seeded species (2002, background): “The number of seeds a plant can produce for a given amount of energy devoted to reproduction is inversely related to the mass of the seeds produced (Smith and Fretwell 1974, Jakobsson and Eriksson 2000, Henery and Westoby 2001).”
