Rodent scatterhoarders as conditional mutualists. (2005, background): “Silman et al. (2003) documented that after peccaries had been extirpated from an area, overall seedling recruitment of Astrocaryum murumuru was significantly higher and less reliant on A4838:AMA:Forget:First Proofs: 20-Jul-04 17 safe-sites near objects.”
Seed predation of Araucaria angustifolia (Araucariaceae) in the Brazilian Araucaria Forest: influence of deposition site and comparative role of small and ‘large’ mammals (2008, background): “Seed removal: small 9 ‘large’ mammals In neotropical forests most studies on seed predation have considered mainly medium and large mammals ([750 g), such as pacas, agoutis, and peccaries (e.g., Forget 1993; 1994; Wright et al. 2000; Silman et al. 2003; Beck 2006).”
Distance- and density-dependent seedling mortality caused by several diseases in eight tree species co-occurring in a temperate forest (2009, background): “Maeto and Fukuyama 1997; Wada et al. 2000; reviewed by Marquis 2005), although relatively fewer evidences have been reported in vertebrate herbivores (Akashi 1997; Tomita et al. 2002; Silman et al. 2003; Wyatt and Silman 2004).”
The Ecology of Seeds: References (2005, background): “The seed-eating white-lipped peccary was shown to have an important influence on seedling recruitment in the dominant palm Astrocaryum murumuru at a site in north-east Peru (Silman et al., 2003).”
Plant structural traits and their role in anti-herbivore defence (2007, background): “In many cases these losses have a major effect on subsequent rates of plant recruitment (Silman et al., 2003).”
Bamboo overabundance alters forest structure and dynamics in the Atlantic Forest hotspot (2012, background): “Large mammals (e.g. tapirs, agoutis, peccaries, and deer) are major herbivores (Asquith et al., 1997; Silman et al., 2003) and they often prey on bamboo seeds, seedlings, and young shoots (Taylor and Zisheng, 1987; Silveira, 1999, 2005; Franklin, 2005).”
Removal of palm fruits and ecosystem engineering in palm stands by white-lipped peccaries (Tayassu pecari) and other frugivores in an isolated Atlantic Forest fragment (2009, background): “Silman et al. (2003), working at Cocha Cashu Biological Station in southeastern Peru, documented cascading eVects related to the presence and absence of palm seed predation by white-lipped peccaries.”
A REVIEW OF PECCARY–PALM INTERACTIONS AND THEIR ECOLOGICAL RAMIFICATIONS ACROSS THE NEOTROPICS (2006, background): “Thus, it is not surprising that palm fruits represent a key resource for frugivores, particularly peccaries (Altrichter et al. 2001; Beck 2005; Bodmer et al. 1997; Cullen et al. 2001; Kahn 1991; Kahn and de Granville 1992; Peres 1994a, 1994b; Silman et al. 2003; Sist 1989b; Terborgh 1986a, 1986b).”
Hunting reduces recruitment of primate-dispersed trees in Amazonian Peru (2008, background): “Extinction of fruit-eating vertebrates threatens important ecosystem processes that maintain long-term forest integrity (Roldan and Simonetti, 2001; Silman et al., 2003; Stoner et al., 2007b).”
Range-wide declines of a key Neotropical ecosystem architect, the Near Threatened white-lipped peccary Tayassu pecari (2011, background): “At high densities this species may have the highest total vertebrate species biomass, reaching up to 230 kg km-2 (Peres, 1996; Silman et al., 2003).”
