• Megagardeners of the forest - the role of elephants in seed dispersal (2011, background): “While many species in Africa and a few in Asia share considerable dietary overlap with elephants, few can compete with the spatial scale over which elephants disperse seed (Dudley, 2000; Campos-Arceiz et al., 2008b; Blake et al., 2009; Corlett, 2009).”
• Seed dispersal by Galápagos tortoises (2012, background): “Megaherbivores may also be prodigious seed dispersers (Fragoso & Huffman, 2000; Guimarães et al., 2008; Blake et al., 2009), a major advantage of which is the movement of seeds away from parent plants (Howe & Smallwood, 1982; Levey et al.”
• Doom of the elephant-dependent trees in a Congo tropical forest (2013, unknown): “cyclotis) sometimes at very long dispersal distances (Blake et al., 2009), a mutualism that matters to the population dynamics of plants and to the structure of forest tree communities (Cain et al.”
