The myriad consequences of hunting for vertebrates and plants in tropical forests (2003, unknown): “Secondary dispersal agents can be crucial (Forget et al. 2002).”
The effects of seed abundance on seed predation and dispersal by rodents in Castanopsis fargesii (Fagaceae) (2005, background): “, mast seeding) and/or community levels (Forget 1992; Kollmann et al. 1998; Hulme and Hunt 1999; Forget et al. 2002; Hoshizaki and Hulme 2002; Vander Wall 2002; Jansen 2003).”
SEED MASS AND MAST SEEDING ENHANCE DISPERSAL BY A NEOTROPICAL SCATTER-HOARDING RODENT (2004, background): “All plots were established between early April and mid-June, which covers the period of maximum hoarding activity (Forget 1996, Forget et al. 2002) as well as the period of fruit production by typical rodentdispersed species.”
Rodent scatterhoarders as conditional mutualists. (2005, background): “…crops have been argued to be important for satiating seed predators (Janzen, 1971a; Silvertown, 1980) and, when followed by periods of food scarcity, for stimulating seed hoarding behaviour (Smythe, 1970; De Steven and Putz, 1984; Schupp, 1990; Vander Wall, 1990; Sork, 1993; Forget et al., 2001).”
