Small seed size increases the potential for dispersal of wetland plants by ducks (2008, background): “More elaborate and more realistic models including the daily movement patterns of birds, such as the models recently developed by Spiegel and Nathan (2007) and Levey et al. (2008), will allow the calculation of complete dispersal kernels for wetland species.”
Are Primates Ecosystem Engineers? (2012, background): “Through seed dispersal, seeds are able to reach new sites for colonization, which influences demography, genetics, spatial distribution, and future vegetation composition (Lambert and Garber 1998; Levey et al. 2008).”
Towards better prediction of seed dispersal by animals (2010, methodology): “Levey et al. (2005) and Levey, Tewksbury & Bolker (2008) used a correlated random walk model with perching time as an additional variable.”
Seed dispersal effectiveness revisited: a conceptual review. (2010, background): “In addition, although LDD is important for plant dynamics, contributing to population spread, subpopulation persistence, recolonization and gene flow (e.g. Bohrer et al., 2005; Nathan, 2006; Levey et al., 2008), we seldom know how important it is.”
