Multiple Recruitment Limitation Causes Arrested Succession in Mediterranean Cork Oak Systems (2007, background): “Seed removal (that is, potential dispersal) rates were about four times higher in shrublands than in savannas and forests, probably because mice populations are higher in shrubland patches (Pausas and others 2004; Torre and Dı́az 2004) and because there is less food available.”
Rodent acorn selection in a Mediterranean oak landscape (2007, background): “A probable reason for this pattern is a high mice predation risk in pine forests (i.e., shorter time for acorn discrimination and selection; Willson and Whelan 1990; Hulme 1994, 1997; Alcantara 2000; Torre and Dı́az 2004; Dı́az et al. 2005).”
Multiple threats, or multiplying the threats? Interactions between invasive predators and other ecological disturbances (2015, background): “A key mediating factor in the interaction between fire and predation is the availability of refuges for prey species (Robinson et al., 2013; Torre and Díaz, 2004).”
The short-term effects of an extensive and high-intensity fire on vertebrates in the tropical savannas of the central Kimberley, northern Australia (2008, unknown): “This pattern is tiles appear resilient to different fire treatments although a few echoed in studies from other parts of the world (Whelan 1995; species show preferences for the extremes. For example, some Torre and Diaz 2004 ).”
Cattle grazing, raptor abundance and small mammal communities in Mediterranean grasslands (2007, background): “In fact, both direct and indirect effects of carnivores, including behavioral changes in microhabitat selection and foraging behavior in presence of predators, have been found for Mediterranean small mammals (Torre & Dı́az, 2004; Dı́az et al., 2005).”
Responses of invasive predators and native prey to a prescribed forest fire (2017, background): “Yet, although associations between ground-dwelling fauna and vegetation structure in fire-affected landscapes are well documented (e.g., Torre and Diaz 2004; Santos and Cheylan 2013; Swan et al. 2015), the mechanisms that underlie these relationships have rarely been quantified experimentally…”
