Re-evaluation of the relationship between rodent populations and acorn masting: a review from the aspect of nutrients and defensive chemicals in acorns (2006, unknown): “A not negligible number of studies, however, reported cases in which no positive responses were observed (McCracken et al. 1999; Schnurr et al. 2002; Selås et al. 2002; Hoshizaki and Miguchi 2005).”
EFFECTS OF SMALL RODENTS AND LARGE MAMMALS ON NEOTROPICAL SEEDS (2004, background): “These results suggest a role for small Neotropical rodents similar to that documented for small rodents within temperate forest communities (Ostfeld et al. 1997, Howe and Brown 2001, Schnurr et al. 2002).”
The Ecology of Seeds: References (2005, background): “In some cases, such as a forest herb community in eastern USA, ants may disperse a majority of the species present (Handel et al., 1981).”
Patterns of mast fruiting of common beech, sessile and common oak, Norway spruce and Scots pine in Central and Northern Europe (2016, background): “The effect of MY on wildlife was studied for many species, among them birds, rodents and deer (Jenni, 1987; McKone et al., 1998; McShea, 2000; Picard et al., 1991; Schnurr et al., 2002; Selås, 1997; Tachiki and Iwasa, 2013).”
NEIGHBORHOOD ANALYSES OF SMALL‐MAMMAL DYNAMICS: IMPACTS ON SEED PREDATION AND SEEDLING ESTABLISHMENT (2004, methodology): “1999), but the more obvious effects of small mammals are as seed predators (Whelan et al. 1991, Ostfeld et al. 1997, Hulme and Hunt 1999, LoGiudice and Ostfeld 2002, Schnurr et al. 2002).”
Factors affecting post-dispersal seed predation in two coexisting oak species: Microhabitat, burial and exclusion of large herbivores (2008, background): “Moreover, population densities of seed predators may vary depending on resource availability in the preceding years (e.g., Curran and Leighton, 2000; Shnurr et al., 2002 ), which could also affect seed predation rates.”
Intact forests provide only weak resistance to a shade‐tolerant invasive Norway maple (Acer platanoides L.) (2006, background): “Seed predation, an important source of biotic resistance in intact forests (e.g. Whelan et al. 1991; Schnurr et al. 2002; Schnurr et al. 2004), could play a role in this high rate, as A. platanoides has been shown to undergo less seed predation than A. saccharum (Meiners 2005).”
