Pleistocene megafaunal extinctions and the functional loss of long‐distance seed‐dispersal services (2018, unknown): “The so-called anachronic fruits have also been found in other megafauna-deprived ecosystems (Janzen 1986, Barlow 2000, Guimarães et al.”
Role of Anthocyanins in Plant Defence (2008, background): “2002) because they can wound mouths, digestive systems (Janzen and Martin 1982; Janzen 1986), and other body parts of herbivores.”
Cactus seed germination: a review (2000, background): “…(Morton, 1985; Boeken & Gutterman, 1990), and studies of cactus seeds have been carried out on some Opuntia spp., mainly in the Chihuahuan Desert ‘nopaleras’ (Janzen, 1971, 1986; Grenot & Serrano, 1981; GonzaH lez-Espinosa & Quintana-Ascencio, 1986; Vargas-Mendoza & GonzaH lez-Espinosa, 1992).”
Potential disruptions to seed dispersal mutualisms in Tonga, Western Polynesia (2002, background): “The question of whether plants are adapted for dispersal by animals no longer present in the ecosystem has been considered for Neotropical (Temple, 1977; Janzen & Martin, 1982; Janzen, 1986) and Pacific regions (Clout & Hay, 1989; Lee et al., 1991; Rainey et al., 1995; Lord et al., 2002).”
Aposematic (Warning) Coloration in Plants (2009, unknown): “…protection against herbivory (Janzen and Martin 1982 ; Janzen 1986 ; Tomlinson 1990 ; Myers and Bazely 1991 ; Grubb 1992 ; Rebollo et al. 2002) because they can wound mouths, digestive systems (Janzen and Martin 1982 ; Cooper and Owen-Smith 1986 ; Janzen 1986) , and other body parts of herbivores.”
