Rodent acorn selection in a Mediterranean oak landscape (2007, background): “Although the total inter-specific variation in acorn production has been recognised to have a great influence on seed eaters (Liebhold et al. 2004), few studies have dealt with the differential selective pressure by these seed eaters on the producers’ actual performance (i.e., mast and regeneration…”
What defines mast seeding? Spatio‐temporal patterns of cone production by whitebark pine (2011, background): “However, masting species have also been defined as those in which populations display negative autocorrelation in reproductive output (Koenig et al. 2003), or in which reproduction is synchronous among individual plants (Liebhold et al. 2004).”
Local‐scale synchrony and variability in mast seed production patterns of Picea glauca (2007, background): “The spatial variation in mast years among plots, and variability in individual synchrony, could reflect the variation in habitat conditions (Liebhold et al. 2004) when these conditions are not overridden by weather for mast seeding.”
Spatial Synchrony in Population Dynamics (2004, background): “However, we expect that this variation may also be due to spatial and temporal variation in the habitat, as it influences local dynamics (e.g., Liebhold et al. 2004).”
