Do larger frugivores move seeds further? Body size, seed dispersal distance, and a case study of a large, sedentary pigeon (2012, background): “We focused on the kereru because it is virtually the only remaining disperser of large-seeded fruits (fruit diameter > 15 mm) in New Zealand, as a result of the extinction and severe range-restriction of many large-bodied bird species after human arrival (Clout & Hay, 1989; Kelly et al., 2010).”
Predation and other factors currently limiting New Zealand forest birds. (2010, background): “Many species are endangered, threatened or declining (BirdLife International 2000; Hitchmough et al. 2007; Robertson et al. 2007), also threatening ecological processes such as pollination and seed dispersal (Kelly et al. 2010).”
Impacts of introduced deer and extinct moa on New Zealand ecosystems (2010, background): “Although fruits and seeds of forest species are seldom eaten by deer, except for Ripogonum scandens on Stewart Island (Nugent & Challies 1988), Kelly et al. (2010) emphasise that even rare long-distance dispersal events can be important for plant populations.”
Impacts of exotic invertebrates on New Zealand's indigenous species and ecosystems (2010, background): “Some of these invasions have also disrupted various aspects of the functioning of natural ecosystems (Fukami et al. 2006; Kelly et al. 2010).”
Ecology and long-term history of fire in New Zealand. (2014, background): “The post-settlement loss of forest and the accompanying collapse in its vertebrate fauna, and its functional implications, are well documented (McGlone & Wilmshurst 1999a; Kelly et al. 2010; Lee et al. 2010).”
Legacy of avian-dominated plant-herbivore systems in New Zealand (2010, unknown): “We also concentrate on herbivory as a disturbance, and largely ignore the role of birds as seed dispersers and pollinators as these are covered by Kelly et al. (2010).”
Animal Translocations: What are they and why do we do them? (2012, unknown): “The demise of native birds has in turn impaired pollination and perhaps seed dispersal of trees and shrubs (Kelly et al., 2010).”
