Irradiance and oak seedling survival and growth in a heterogeneous environment (2007, background): “Each species acts differently in terms of microhabitat of destiny, capacity of recovering the hoarded acorns and distance at which they cache them (Gómez, 2003; Gómez et al., 2003b; Den Ouden et al., 2005; authors’ unpublished data).”
Scatter-hoarding corvids as seed dispersers for oaks and pines: A review of a widely distributed mutualism and its utility to habitat restoration (2016, background): “…of acorns over large distances (Perea et al. 2011), but other animals, such as wood mice (Apodemus spp.), red squirrels (S. vulgaris), and even dung beetles (Thorectes lusitanicus) also cache acorns (den Ouden et al. 2005, Goméz et al. 2008, Pérez-Ramos et al. 2013, Morán-López et al. 2015b).”
Moonlight and shelter cause differential seed selection and removal by rodents (2011, background): “Scatter-hoarding rodents are known as one of the main guilds of seed dispersers (Xiao et al. 2004; Den Ouden et al. 2005; Steele et al. 2007; Briggs et al. 2009).”
