• Latitude, seed predation and seed mass (2003, methodology): “Pre-dispersal seed predation and post-dispersal seed removal We compiled results from all the papers cited in reviews by Crawley (1992) and S. Cunningham (unpubl. data).”
• Direct and indirect effects of pollinators and seed predators to selection on plant and floral traits (2004, background): “Pre-dispersal seed predation is common among flowering plants (reviewed by Crawley 1992) and can have strong effects on plant fitness (Louda and Potvin 1995).”
• The Ecology of Seeds: References (2005, background): “Crawley (1992) lists 60 studies of pre-dispersal seed predation by insects in a wide range of plant families.”
• Spatial variation in ant and rodent post‐dispersal predation of vertebrate‐dispersed seeds (2002, background): “…if they show marked preferences towards specific plant species; on the other hand, post-dispersal seed predators may contribute to the maintenance of species diversity if the spatial distribution of sites safe from predators is uncorrelated across plant species (Crawley 2000; Pacala 1997).”
• When do herbivores affect plant invasion? Evidence for the natural enemies and biotic resistance hypotheses (2001, background): “They remain persistent community members because they have life-history attributes – long life spans (in some cases due to clonal growth) or long-lived seedbanks – that enable them to compensate at the population level for herbivore damage (Harper 1977, Crawley 1992, 1997).”
• Earthworms (Lumbricus terrestris) affect plant seedling recruitment and microhabitat heterogeneity (2006, background): “Earthworm casts and burrows probably form an important regeneration niche for plant seedlings (Crawley 1992), so it is surprising that, to our knowledge, there has been no study investigating how recruitment of seedlings of different seed sizes or plant functional groups is affected by the presence…”
• Ethiopian church forests : opportunities and challenges for restoration (2004, background): “When regeneration is limited by seed availability the consequence of seed predation for species regeneration and population growth may be very significant (Crawley, 1992; Fenner and Kitajima, 1999).”
• Early effects of rodent post‐dispersal seed predation on the outcome of the plant–seed disperser interaction (2000, unknown): “seed predators world wide (Crawley 1992).”
• Survival Strategies of Annual Desert Plants (2002, result): “This agrees with the findings of carefully controlled experiments (Crawley 2000).”
