Doom of the elephant-dependent trees in a Congo tropical forest (2013, unknown): “, 2010), and recent models of forest defaunation show alteration of plant reproduction, with changes after each generation and clear consequences for the future of our forests (Muller-Landau, 2007).”
Forest Elephants: Tree Planters of the Congo (2009, background): “An urgent question facing conservationists is whether these ‘empty’ forests can sustain their species diversity in the long term (Chapman & Onderdonk 1998, Muller-Landau 2007, Nunez-Iturri & Howe 2007).”
Differential Effects of Hunting on Pre‐Dispersal Seed Predation and Primary and Secondary Seed Removal of Two Neotropical Tree Species (2007, background): “A better understanding of the mechanisms structuring plant communities will help us predict how plant species respond when their interacting partners are extirpated and how plant communities will ultimately be affected (Muller-Landau 2007).”
The Plight of Large Animals in Tropical Forests and the Consequences for Plant Regeneration (2007, background): “Beckman and Muller-Landau (2007) provide the first evaluation of the impact of hunting on predispersal seed predation.”
Hunting of Mammals Reduces Seed Removal and Dispersal of the Afrotropical Tree Antrocaryon klaineanum (Anacardiaceae) (2007, background): “Despite differing results about which species are favored, both of these empirical studies, as well as modeling studies (Muller-Landau 2007), suggest that plant species diversity decreases when mammalian seed dispersers are lost.”
