Alpine species seed longevity in the soil in relation to seed size and shape – A 5-year burial experiment in the Central Alps (2010, background): “Theoretical studies suggest that the probability of reproductive failure should be positively linked to investments in persistent seed banks, as this reduces the risk of extinction in unfavourable years (Arroyo et al., 1999, 2004; Cavieres, 1999; Cohen, 1966; Jurado and Flores, 2005).”
Response and effect traits of arable weeds in agro‐ecosystems: a review of current knowledge (2017, background): “The ambiguity of such relationships could result from the existence of covarying factors with seed mass and dormancy, and from evolutionary constraints of the species (Jurado & Flores, 2005).”
Seed mass and germination in an alpine meadow on the eastern Tsinghai–Tibet plateau (2007, background): “In addition to these basic constrains, life historical traits, like seed mass, would impose further restrictions on germination behavior (Smith-Ramı́rez et al. 1998; Jurado and Flores 2005).”
