• Seed size, shape and persistence in dry Mediterranean grass and scrublands (2003, background): “This burial hypothesis has been supported by similar results in other studies of grasslands in northern and central Europe (Bakker et al., 1996; Bekker et al., 1998), temperate subhumid montane grasslands in Argentina (Funes et al., 1999) and species from a wide range of habitats in Italy (Cerabolin”
• The Ecology of Seeds: References (2005, background): “This seems to work well enough in the British (Thompson et al., 1993), European (Bekker et al., 1998a; Cerabolini et al., 2003; Peco et al., 2003), temperate south American (Funes et al., 1999) (Fig.”
• Structural, physiological and molecular aspects of heterogeneity in seeds: a review (2005, background): “Thus, size and shape of seeds are key factors in determining seed fate and persistence in soil (Thompson et al., 1993; Bakker et al., 1996; McDonald et al., 1996; Funes et al., 1999; Cerabolini et al., 2003).”
• Seed mortality in the soil is related to seed coat thickness (2010, result): “Seed mortality in the soil was not correlated with seed mass and shape, in contrast to the results of prior studies on seed persistence (Cerabolini et al., 2003).”
