Long‐term seed survival and dispersal dynamics in a rodent‐dispersed tree: testing the predator satiation hypothesis and the predator dispersal hypothesis (2013, background): “It had been shown that scatter-hoarding was enhanced and dispersal distances were greater during mast years compared with those during non-mast years (e.g. Pinus species, Vander Wall 2002; Prunus armeniaca, Li & Zhang 2007).”
The effects of seed abundance on seed predation and dispersal by rodents in Castanopsis fargesii (Fagaceae) (2005, background): “…(Janzen 1970, 1971; Silvertown 1980) and animal dispersal hypothesis (Chistensen and Whitham 1991; Herrera et al. 1994; Koenig et al. 1994; Vander Wall 2002), but they are not mutually exclusive, and the animal dispersal hypothesis is more related to the predator satiation hypothesis (Vander…”
The functional roles of mammals in ecosystems (2019, background): “But many individual rodents, including members of different species that scatter-hoard seeds in a similar way, engage in “cache exchanges,” in which the seeds that are eventually consumed are not necessarily those initially stored by that individual (Vander Wall and Jenkins 2003; Price and Mittler 2”
A simple mechanistic model of seed dispersal, predation and plant establishment: Janzen‐Connell and beyond (2004, background): “A recent study of dispersal and predation of pine seeds (Vander Wall 2002) suggests that in mast years, chipmunks and other animals that function as seed dispersers transport a larger number of seeds to longer distances than in non-mast years, whereas birds and other animals that function as seed…”
Rodent acorn selection in a Mediterranean oak landscape (2007, background): “The greater acorn movement distances in OF and PF might be the result of different causes such as the lack of safe sites in PF or the high mice densities in OF (e.g., longer distance movements for reducing pilfering by congeneres; Vander Wall 2002).”
Scatter-hoarding corvids as seed dispersers for oaks and pines: A review of a widely distributed mutualism and its utility to habitat restoration (2016, background): “The ''predator [or animal] dispersal hypothesis'' proposes that, in addition to predator satiation, mast years improve seed dispersal benefits that plants receive from scatter-hoarders (Vander Wall 2002, 2010).”
Seed predation of Araucaria angustifolia (Araucariaceae) in the Brazilian Araucaria Forest: influence of deposition site and comparative role of small and ‘large’ mammals (2008, background): “A high seed production during a limited period of time would maximize the probability of satiating local seed predators, allowing some seeds to escape predation and germinate thus increasing recruitment rates in accordance with the predator satiation hypothesis (Janzen 1971; Vander Wall 2002).”
Rodent scatterhoarders as conditional mutualists. (2005, background): “Vander Wall (2002) demonstrated that although rodent scatterhoarders cached nearly all seeds in years of both high and low pine (Pinus spp.) seed crops, fewer seeds were consumed and more caches survived to time of germination in years of large seed crops.”
