• The functional role of soil seed banks in natural communities. (2014, background): “Another factor that importantly impedes a direct relation between soil seed-bank composition and newly established plant communities is seed and seedling predation (Forget et al., 2005).”
• Seedling Ecology and Evolution: Seedling morphology, evolution, and physiology (2008, background): “A fourth volume, Forget et al. (2005), is primarily about seed predation and dispersal.”
• Global mapping of Jatropha curcas yield based on response of fitness to present and future climate (2010, background): “Seedlings from larger seeds of the same species, assuming low predation of a toxic seed such as Jatropha, have higher probabilities of germination and establishment as they have more embryonic resources to help rooting under adverse conditions (Kigel & Galili, 1995; Forget et al., 2005).”
• Are introduced rats (Rattus rattus) both seed predators and dispersers in Hawaii? (2011, background): “Although this type of dispersal is much more common with birds than rodents (Herrera and Pellmyr 2002; Forget et al. 2005), it has been demonstrated with captive black rats for two small-seeded species (< 2.5 mm length) from New Zealand (Williams et al. 2000).”

• The Role of Mammals in Creating and Modifying Seedshadows in Tropical Forests and Some Possible Consequences of Their Elimination (2007, background): “1 Corresponding author; e-mail: kstoner@oikos.unam.mx effect of gut passage on seed germination, and effects of foraging movement and behavior on seedshadows (see Forget et al. 2005 for a comprehensive review).”
• Do scatter hoarders trade off increased predation risks for lower rates of cache pilferage (2014, background): “Consequently, an understanding of such animal-mediated dispersal requires detailed knowledge of the behavioral strategies that animals use when storing and recovering seeds (Theimer 2005).”
