Comparative ecology of desert small mammals: a selective review of the past 30 years (2011, background): “Whereas scatterhoards generally are placed superficially in the soil and yield moderate to high numbers of germinating plants (Brodin 2010), larderhoards (used also by ants) are deep under the surface, resulting in low germination (Longland et al. 2001).”
Conversion of sagebrush shrublands to exotic annual grasslands negatively impacts small mammal communities (2009, background): “Selective seed removal and seed handling by rodents affect plant communities through seed predation and seed dispersal (West, 1968; Vander Wall, 1993; Heske et al., 1994; Longland et al., 2001).”
The Ecology of Seeds: References (2005, background): “For example, in the desert grass Oryzopsis hymenoides, the number of seedlings that were derived from seeds scatter-hoarded by kangaroo rats was an order of magnitude greater than that from unharvested seeds (Longland et al., 2001).”
