• Costs of dispersal (2012, background): “Gut passage may impose serious costs of dispersal when passage time is either too long or too short, so that seeds are respectively consumed or not sufficiently affected to allow germination (Cosyns et al., 2005; Traveset et al., 2003; Traveset, Rodriguez-Perez & Pias, 2008).”
• Megagardeners of the forest - the role of elephants in seed dispersal (2011, background): “…h, max¼ 109 h; Tsuji et al., 2010) and gorillas (mean¼ 47.3 h, max¼ 130 h; Remis, 2000); and shorter than many herbivores with smaller size and similar digestive systems, such as equids (mean¼ 50e70 h; Cosyns et al., 2005) and rhinoceroses (peak 64e88 h, max¼ 172 h; Dinerstein and Wemmer, 1988).”
