Consequences of herbivory by native ungulates for the reproduction of a savanna tree (2007, background): “Further, reproduction should have the greatest impacts on plant population dynamics when recruitment is limited most by propagule pressure (e.g. Eriksson & Ehrlén 1992) rather than microsite (e.g. Eskelinen & Virtanen 2005) or predator (e.g. Orrock et al. 2006) limitation.”
Seed predators limit plant recruitment in Neotropical savannas (2011, unknown): “Our results add to the growing body of literature demonstrating that the reduction of seed availability by consumers can limit perennial plant establishment (Turnbull et al. 2000, Orrock et al. 2006,).”
Seed predation as a barrier to alien conifer invasions (2008, background): “…Knoxville, TN 37996, USA e-mail: mnunez@utk.edu M. A. Relva Laboratorio Ecotono, Centro Regional Universitario Bariloche, Universidad Nacional del Comahue, Quintal 1250, 8400 Bariloche, RN, Argentina For plants, seed predation is proposed as a major impediment to establishment (Orrock et al. 2006).”
