• Integrating demographic and genetic approaches in plant conservation (2003, methodology): “Experiments manipulating population size can also be used to obtain strong evidence for Allee-effects, although this is time-consuming and not always possible (Hackney and McGraw, 2001).”
• Allee effects driven by predation (2004, background): “Pollination in plants is to some extent an analogous system, where Allee effects have also been demonstrated (Lamont, Klinkhammer & Witkowski 1993; Groom 1998; Hackney & McGraw 2001).”
• Importance of the Allee effect for reintroductions (2007, background): “…1995; Stoner & Ray-Culp, 2000; Baker & Tyler, 2001), and of flowering plants, for which a sufficiently large patch is needed to attract enough specialist pollinators or generalist pollinators with enough intraspecific pollen (Groom, 1998; Colas, Olivieri & Riba, 2001; Hackney & mcGraw, 2001).”
• ECOLOGICAL CONTEXT OF THE EVOLUTION OF SELF-POLLINATION IN CLARKIA XANTIANA: POPULATION SIZE, PLANT COMMUNITIES, AND REPRODUCTIVE ASSURANCE (2005, background): “…Allee effects in plant populations where plant reproductive success increases with population size (Sih and Baltus 1987; Groom 1998; Hendrix and Kyhl 2000; Hackney and McGraw 2001; Moeller 2004) and the density of neighboring plants (e.g., Kunin 1993; Fausto et al. 2001; Knight 2003; Moeller 2004).”
• Allee Effects in Ecology and Conservation (2008, background): “number of individuals fl owering (Hackney and McGraw 2001); Senecio integrifolius: proportion of seeds set vs.”
• Pollen Limitation of Plant Reproduction: Pattern and Process (2005, background): “DECREASES IN PLANT POPULATION SIZE/DENSITY Many ecological perturbations such as habitat fragmentation (Cunningham 2000), human harvesting (Hackney & McGraw 2001), and increases in herbivore abundance (Vàzquez & Simberloff 2004) reduce plant abundance.”
• Dangerously few liaisons: a review of mate-finding Allee effects (2009, background): “American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius): green fruits per flower versus number of individuals flowering ( Hackney and McGraw 2001 ); Senecio integrifolius: proportion of seeds set versus number of individuals flowering (Widen 1993); Banksia goodii: proportion of plants fertile versus population size ”
• The Ecology of Seeds: References (2005, background): “Other species in which seed set has been shown to be related positively to patch size are Viscaria vulgaris (Jennersten & Nilsson, 1993), Clarkia concinna (Groom, 1998), Panax quinquefolius (Hackney & McGraw, 2001), Zostera marina (Reusch, 2003) and Primula vulgaris (Brys et al., 2004).”
