Does size matter for dispersal distance (2007, background): “1a or c, +) as alternatives, because phoretic dispersal may link passive and active dispersal distances (e.g. Bohonak & Whiteman, 1999; Wenny, 2001; Figuerola et al. , 2005).”
Predicting the Long‐Term Effects of Hunting on Plant Species Composition and Diversity in Tropical Forests (2007, background): “…not only by removing seeds from the vicinity of parents but also by enhancing seed germination or survival via the direct effects of their handling (Krefting & Roe 1949, Traveset & Verdú 2002), or by disproportionately depositing seeds in favorable environments (Wenny & Levey 1998, Wenny 2001).”
VERTEBRATE DISPERSAL OF SEED PLANTS THROUGH TIME (2004, background): “White et al. (2001) and Ufnar et al. (2002) advance isotopic evidence that the western margin of eastern North America may have had as much as 2500 to 4100 mm of rain per year in the Albian through Cenomanian ages, distributed evenly throughout the year.”
Choosing benefits or partners: a review of the evidence for the evolution of myrmecochory (2006, background): “…at the time, Beattie (1985) argued that the directed dispersal hypothesis was the best supported hypothesis, and it is still perceived as the leading hypothesis on the evolution of myrmecochory (Wenny 2001) even though it has been frequently challenged (Bond et al. 1990, Westoby et al. 1990).”
Seed dispersal distance is more strongly correlated with plant height than with seed mass (2011, background): “Species using directed dispersal may have higher seedling and juvenile survival rates over passively dispersed seeds, making them more efficient dispersers with greater dispersal capacities (Wenny 2001).”
Bushmeat and the Fate of Trees with Seeds Dispersed by Large Primates in a Lowland Rain Forest in Western Amazonia (2007, background): “Seed dispersers can aggregate seeds in a nonrandom fashion (Howe & Smallwood 1982, Wenny 2001, Schupp et al. 2002), for instance, under fruiting trees (Clark et al. 2004).”
Patterns of Seed Dispersal and Dispersal Failure in a Hawaiian Dry Forest Having Only Introduced Birds (2010, background): “In addition, bird dispersal typically results in non-random seed deposition owing to the preferential movements of birds to these feeding and perch sites (Ferguson & Drake 1999, Jordano & Schupp 2000, Wenny 2001, Clark et al. 2004, Herrera and Garcia 2009).”
Seed dispersal effectiveness revisited: a conceptual review. (2010, background): “…to less consistent patterns likely depends on the degree of long-term consistency in site quality and the degree of concordance between patterns of seed arrival and site quality; it matters whether ‘hotspots’ are the result of directed dispersal (Wenny, 2001) to highly suitable recruitment sites.”
Plant fecundity and seed dispersal in spatially heterogeneous environments: models, mechanisms and estimation (2008, background): “1994; Wenny & Levey 1998; Jordano & Schupp 2000; Wenny 2001; Russo et al. 2006).”
The Ecology and Evolution of Seed Dispersal: A Theoretical Perspective (2003, background): “…dispersal increases the number of species competing for sites, increasing local community species richness and evenness (alpha diversity, sensu Whittaker 1972) while decreasing turnover among communities (beta diversity) and total metacommunity species richness (gamma diversity) because…”
Modelling long‐distance seed dispersal in heterogeneous landscapes (2008, unknown): “Indeed, essentially all empirical studies that have documented spatial patterns of animal-dispersed seeds have found this expected pattern of ‘contagious’ dispersal (Fragoso 1997; Wenny & Levey 1998; Wenny 2001; Kwit et al. 2004; Russo et al. 2006; Jordano et al. 2007; Hampe et al. 2008).”
