Seed dispersal by a frugivorous marsupial shapes the spatial scale of a mistletoe population (2009, background): “Therefore, we suggest that the hierarchical patchiness of the mistletoe may be chiefly linked to the long-term spatial effect of seed dispersal (as suggested for other vertebrate-dispersed mistletoes, e.g. Hoffmann et al. 1986; López de Buen et al. 2002; Aukema 2004; but see Overton 1996).”
Global patterns in fruiting seasons (2008, background): “A second explanation might be that the processes occurring on smaller, regional scales may be different from the processes operating at the global scale (see Blackburn & Gaston, 2002; Aukema, 2004; Burns, 2004; García & Ortiz-Pulido, 2004).”
Inequalities in fruit‐removal and seed dispersal: consequences of bird behaviour, neighbourhood density and landscape aggregation (2008, background): “For example, frugivores can direct seeds towards other fruiting plants and habitats (Wenny & Levey 1998; Jordano & Schupp 2000; Aukema 2004; Russo & Augspurger 2004; Clark et al. 2005; Carlo & Aukema 2005; Russo et al. 2006).”
