Multiple Recruitment Limitation Causes Arrested Succession in Mediterranean Cork Oak Systems (2007, result): “Comparable results have been found in other Mediterranean oak forests ( Pons and Pausas 2007 ).”
Factors affecting post-dispersal seed predation in two coexisting oak species: Microhabitat, burial and exclusion of large herbivores (2008, background): “sylvaticus), these small animals could be considered the main acorn predators in the study area, as reported for other Mediterranean landscapes (e.g., Borchert et al., 1989; Gómez et al., 2003; Pons and Pausas, 2007; Acácio et al., 2007).”
Moonlight and shelter cause differential seed selection and removal by rodents (2011, background): “The same findings have been found for rodents selecting different fleshy fruited species (Perea et al. 2011b) as well as for other acorn foragers such as jays, Garrulus glandarius (Pons & Pausas 2007b).”
