Long‐term seed survival and dispersal dynamics in a rodent‐dispersed tree: testing the predator satiation hypothesis and the predator dispersal hypothesis (2013, background): “…abundance (i.e. seed crops from other plants) may have some impact on the population and behavioural responses of both seed predators and dispersers and subsequently on seed dispersal and survival dynamics in co-occurring plants (Hoshizaki & Hulme 2002; Xiao, Zhang & Wang 2005; Xiao et al. 2006a).”
Plant Parentage, Pollination, and Dispersal: How DNA Microsatellites Have Altered the Landscape (2010, background): “Tracking the movement and fates of seeds has proven to be at least as daunting as tracking pollen movement (Forget and Wenny, 2005; Xiao et al., 2006).”
Differences of dispersal fitness of large and small acorns of Liaodong oak (Quercus liaotungensis) before and after seed caching by small rodents in a warm temperate forest, China (2008, methodology): “This tintagged method has been shown to be more effective in tracking seed fates by small rodents than the thread-marking method because the steel wire tied to the seeds is more resistant to cutting by rodents (Xiao et al., 2006).”
Effects of mast seeding and rodent abundance on seed predation and dispersal by rodents in Prunus armeniaca (Rosaceae) (2007, methodology): “This method has been shown to have advantages over thread method (Xiao et al., 2006).”
