Colonization processes in semi-arid Mediterranean old-fields (2006, background): “Understories provide a suitable environment for establishment, where water and nutrients availability are high (Pugnaire et al., 1996, 2004), but seedlings in the understory of the mother plant die soon because of competition with herbs, excessive shade, grazing, or pathogens (e.g. Wenny, 2000).”
Assessing the benefits of frugivory for seed germination: the importance of the deinhibition effect (2006, background): “There has, to date, been no formal comparison of the relative effect sizes of the scarification effect and the deinhibition effect, although some examples from New Zealand and elsewhere suggest that the deinhibition effect may be large (Wenny 2000; Kelly et al .”
EFFECTS OF SMALL RODENTS AND LARGE MAMMALS ON NEOTROPICAL SEEDS (2004, background): “…scatter-hoarders, but Neotropical forests support a diverse rodent community including several other small- and medium-sized rodents from genera such as Peromyscus, Oryzomys, Melanomys, Rhipidomys, Oecomys, Zygodontomys, and Sigmodon (Fleming 1974a, b, Terborgh et al. 1993, Reid 1997, Wenny 2000).”
Seed dispersal by a frugivorous marsupial shapes the spatial scale of a mistletoe population (2009, background): “For example, lowly mobile vertebrates, such as territorial birds or small rodents, disperse the majority of seeds of certain plants under the canopies of adult individuals, determining that the spatial extent occupied by recruits would seldom exceed that of adults (Wenny 2000; García & Houle 2005).”
Plant Parentage, Pollination, and Dispersal: How DNA Microsatellites Have Altered the Landscape (2010, background): “The number of dispersed seeds that survive is typically extremely low and the recovery of these few of perhaps thousands of marked seeds is often challenging (Jensen and Nielsen, 1986; Jorge and Howe, 2009; Li and Zhang, 2007; Sork, 1983, 1984; Wenny, 2000).”
Forecasting plant migration rates: managing uncertainty for risk assessment (2003, background): “1998; Wenny 2000).”
Seed dispersal effectiveness revisited: a conceptual review. (2010, background): “…insight into various aspects of SDE (Howe, 1977; Herrera & Jordano, 1981; Murray, 1988; Reid, 1989; Wenny & Levey, 1998; Jordano & Schupp, 2000; Wenny, 2000; Figuerola et al., 2002; Traveset et al., 2003; Calviño-Cancela & Martı́n- SDE Quantitative: no. of seeds dispersed Qualitative:…”
Seed-density effects on germination and initial seedling establishment in eelgrass Zostera marina in the Chesapeake Bay region (2003, background): “Processes that influence the establishment of a seedling from a seed are often diverse and complex (Wenny 2000).”
Seed dispersal of fleshy‐fruited invasive plants by birds: contributing factors and management options (2005, background): “Plants may facilitate directed dispersal (i.e. dispersal to microsites that favour seedling recruitment) by attracting animal vectors with particular behaviours and habitat preferences, which may lead to a predictable pattern of seed spread (Wheelwright & Orians, 1982, e.g. Wenny, 2000).”
Spatial patterns of recruitment in Mediterranean plant species: linking the fate of seeds, seedlings and saplings in heterogeneous landscapes at different scales (2008, background): “1999; Rey & Alcántara 2000; Wenny 2000; Traveset et al .”
Ecology of Seagrass Seeds and Seagrass Dispersal Processes (2007, background): “One process in particular, seed predation, has been shown to be highly significant in terrestrial environments across broad latitudinal gradients and can account for complete loss of seed production in some systems (Janzen, 1971; Harper, 1977; Wenny, 2000).”
