A simple mechanistic model of seed dispersal, predation and plant establishment: Janzen‐Connell and beyond (2004, background): “A recent theoretical investigation, using modelling approaches different from ours ( Muller-Landau et al. 2003 ), showed that specialized pests can enforce strong selection for long-distance seed dispersal.”
The Role of Mammals in Creating and Modifying Seedshadows in Tropical Forests and Some Possible Consequences of Their Elimination (2007, background): “In general, mammals that travel widely in a day will deposit seeds over a greater area than mammals that intensively exploit a smaller day range moving shorter distances (Portnoy & Willson 1993, Willson & Traveset 2000, Muller-Landau et al. 2003).”
Dispersal potential in plant communities depends on environmental conditions (2004, background): “The efficiency of various dispersal vectors for a given species can be classified based either on differences in actually realized dispersal distance or on differences in attributes that (potentially) give access to dispersal modes with a high efficiency for long-distance dispersal ( Muller-Landau e”
