• Litter effects on plant regeneration in arid lands: a complex balance between seed retention, seed longevity and soil–seed contact (2005, background): “The increased seed longevity in litter patches may have important consequences for plant populations by increasing the probability that seed is present when conditions become favourable for successful germination (Harper 1977), even if current seed production is scarce or nil (Leishman et al. 2000).”
• The Ecology of Seeds: References (2005, background): “Why large seeds are beneficial in response to such a wide range of hazards remains to be determined, but a working hypothesis is that large seeds hold a larger fraction of their resources in reserve, capable of being deployed when required (Leishman et al., 2000b).”
• The influence of soil moisture on losses of buried seeds to fungi (2003, background): “In natural habitats, fungal pathogens can have significant impacts on the survival of both growing plants (Augspurger and Kelly 1984; Stephenson 1986; Bever 1994; Packer and Clay 2000) and buried seeds (Crist and Friese 1993; Dalling et al. 1998; Leishman et al. 2000; Blaney and Kotanen 2001, 2002).”
• Effects of fungal pathogens on seeds of native and exotic plants: a test using congeneric pairs (2001, background): “Apparent counterexamples do exist: Leishman et al. (2000) found that supplementing summer rainfall did not lead to higher levels of fungal mortality for seeds of four experimental species.”
• Climate change and bet‐hedging: interactions between increased soil temperatures and seed bank persistence (2009, background): “…suggests that the effects of maximum temperatures may be less dramatic on soil seed banks in cooler and wetter climates (Akinola et al., 1998; Leishman et al., 2000), the potential to affect seed dormancy still exists, for example by increasing temperatures above thresholds needed to fulfill…”
• Climate change and plant regeneration from seed (2011, background): “Leishman et al. (2000) found that simulated increase in winter temperatures and summer rainfall in the United Kingdom influenced neither fungal pathogens nor the persistence of seeds in the soil, but Blaney & Kotanen (2001) found higher seed mortality of dryland plants in moist soils owing to…”
