DO FRUGIVORES RESPOND TO FRUIT HARVEST? AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF SHORT‐TERM RESPONSES (2003, background): “…represents a general pattern, then fruit abundance may explain frugivore abundance and behavior in foraging flocks (Chapman et al. 1989, Develey and Peres 2000), in individual fruiting trees (Howe and Vande Kerckhove 1980), within and among habitats (Levey 1988, Loiselle and Blake 1993, Malizia…”
Rewilding – A New Paradigm for Nature Conservation in Scotland? (2011, background): “The search for keystone species in these and other environments has been intensive (e.g. Wright et al. 1994; Peres 2000; del Castillo et al. 2009, Jordán 2009).”
Evolutionary Consequences of Fallback Foods (2007, background): “In the context of our discussion, a keystone resource by that definition would be a plant resource that is eaten by several species, and whose loss would have a negative impact on the community much larger than would be predicted from its abundance (Leighton and Leighton 1983; Peres 2000).”
Linking plant phenology to conservation biology (2016, background): “1c) according to their nutritional content, morphology and colour (Camargo et al., 2013; Develey and Peres, 2000; Herrera, 2009), with consequences for their conservation and management (Kannan and James, 1999).”
