Plant Parentage, Pollination, and Dispersal: How DNA Microsatellites Have Altered the Landscape (2010, background): “Tracking the movement and fates of seeds has proven to be at least as daunting as tracking pollen movement (Forget and Wenny, 2005; Xiao et al., 2006).”

Linking seed dispersal to cache protection strategies (2011, methodology): “This methodology is not considered to influence rodent foraging behaviour (Forget & Wenny 2005), and by using this procedure we were able to locate more than 95% of the removed acorns (for similar procedure see Forget 1990; Jansen et al. 2002; Muñoz & Bonal 2007, 2008a).”
