Chimpanzees use long-term spatial memory to monitor large fruit trees and remember feeding experiences across seasons (2013, background): “…quantities of fruit or reproduce at more reliable rates than others, frugivores are expected to discriminate between the output of individual trees and be selective in the trees that they approach to check for fruit (Struhsaker 1997; Sakai 2001; Koenig et al. 2003; Janmaat 2006; Appendix Table A1).”
Local‐scale synchrony and variability in mast seed production patterns of Picea glauca (2007, methodology): “© 2007 The Authors Journal compilation © 2007 British Ecological Society, Journal of Ecology 95, 991‐1000 among individuals as measures of synchrony, ranged widely from 0.18 to 0.82 ( Koenig et al. 2003 ).”
What defines mast seeding? Spatio‐temporal patterns of cone production by whitebark pine (2011, background): “However, masting species have also been defined as those in which populations display negative autocorrelation in reproductive output (Koenig et al. 2003), or in which reproduction is synchronous among individual plants (Liebhold et al.”
Testing the resource-matching hypothesis in the mast seeding tree Nothofagus truncata (Fagaceae) (2006, background): “There was a high level of synchrony among individual seed traps across years, with a mean pairwise correlation coefficient of 0.87 (Koenig et al. 2003).”
Within-population spatial synchrony in mast seeding of North American oaks (2004, background): “…measured as the among-yr coefficient of variation in seed production by the population, CVp), synchrony in annual mast production among individuals within a population, and spatial synchrony among populations (Herrera 1998, Herrera et al. 1998, Buonaccorsi et al. 2003, Koenig et al. 2003).”
Evolutionary advantages of mast seeding in Fagus crenata (2005, background): “Generally, plants under selective pressure have a higher seed production CV than do plants with no selective benefits (Silvertown 1980; Kelly et al. 2001; Koenig et al. 2003).”
