Local interactions, dispersal, and native and exotic plant diversity along a California stream (2001, background): “…operating over hundreds of meters or kilometers i difficult to measure (Harper 1977, Cain et al. 2000) and thus moving from the simple seed addition experiment to demonstrating that dispersal drives community-scale patterns has proven challenging (Cain et al. 2000, Nathan and Muller-Landau 2000).”
Plant dispersal in a lowland stream in relation to occurrence and three specific life‐history traits of the species in the species pool (2003, background): “the dispersal of species’ diaspores by multiple agents, which has been noted in previous studies (Bakker et al. 1996; Barrat-Segretain 1996; Bill et al. 1999; Nathan & Muller-Landau 2000 ).”
VERTEBRATE DISPERSAL OF SEED PLANTS THROUGH TIME (2004, background): “…and invertebrates (Beattie 1985, Handel & Beattie 1990) is central to individual species biology and modern ecosystem function (e.g., Howe & Smallwood 1982, Murray 1986, Sallabanks & Courtney 1992, Cain et al. 2000, Nathan & Muller-Landau 2000, Herrera 2002, Levey et al. 2002, Wang & Smith 2002).”
Long‐term assessment of seed limitation in plants: results from an 11‐year experiment (2006, background): “…as the reduction in abundance and distribution due to a reduced number of available seeds, can be broken down into two components: a limited number of seeds at source populations and a limited dispersal of available seeds (Clark et al. 1998; Nathan & Muller-Landau 2000; Muller-Landau et al. 2002).”
Seed dispersal of the non-native invasive tree Ailanthus altissima into contrasting environments (2007, background): “Seed dispersal links the spatial pattern of adult trees to that of their offspring, laying the template for establishment (Harper 1977; Schupp and Fuentes 1995; Nathan and Muller-Landau 2000).”
Seed predation, not seed dispersal, explains the landscape‐level abundance of an early‐successional plant (2006, background): “2000), as might occur if seed production is low or seed dispersal distances are short (Nathan & Muller-Landau 2000), or seeds that arrive at a suitable microsite are destroyed by predators or pathogens before they can establish (predator limitation; Crawley 2000).”
Multiple Recruitment Limitation Causes Arrested Succession in Mediterranean Cork Oak Systems (2007, methodology): “In this paper, we assess the contribution of four mechanisms of recruitment limitation (sensu Nathan and Muller-Landau 2000; Schupp and others 2002)—source limitation, dispersal limitation, germination limitation, and establishment limitation—to the persistence and dynamics of the three dominant…”
Endozoochorous seed dispersal by cattle and horse in a spatially heterogeneous landscape (2005, background): “It can also be affected by animal behaviour ( Nathan and Muller-Landau 2000 ).”
A mechanistic model for secondary seed dispersal by wind and its experimental validation (2005, methodology): “The quantitative study of other seed dispersal processes has been advanced by the development of mechanistic models (Nathan & Muller-Landau 2000).”
Plant diversity in tropical forests: a review of mechanisms of species coexistence (2017, background): “each tree becomes more fecund, and/or (3) the number of reproductive trees increases (Nathan and Muller-Landau 2000).”
Dispersal potential in plant communities depends on environmental conditions (2004, background): “Ecological Society, Journal of Ecology , 92 , 767‐777 cf. Cain et al . 2000) depends on the tail of the ‘dispersal kernel’ and is extremely difficult to quantify (Bullock & Clarke 2000; Cain et al . 2000; Nathan & Muller-Landau 2000 ).”
Choosing benefits or partners: a review of the evidence for the evolution of myrmecochory (2006, background): “Seed dispersal is an extremely important life transition (Schupp and Fuentes 1995, Nathan and Muller-Landau 2000), and plant traits that affect seed dispersal are likely to be under strong selection pressure.”
Role of dispersal in the recruitment limitation of neotropical pioneer species (2002, methodology): “…conspecific adult from plots within the gap, Î: eqn 6 Distance to nearest adult is a commonly measured proxy for seed rain used in place of seed input data in analyses of dispersion patterns (Dalling et al. 1998a), despite the known problems with this assumption (Nathan & Muller-Landau 2000).”
The Ecology and Evolution of Seed Dispersal: A Theoretical Perspective (2003, background): “…should address uncertainties involved not only with dispersal, but also with predispersal (e.g., pollination, seed production, and predispersal seed loss), and postdispersal (e.g., seed predation, germination, and seedling competition) processes (Nathan & Muller-Landau 2000, Schupp & Fuentes 1995).”
Contrasting taxonomic and functional responses of a tropical tree community to selective logging (2012, positive): “…this effect is likely determined by the dispersal abilities of the study organism (Shea, Roxburgh & Rauschert 2004; Haddad et al. 2008), and for trees we expect infrequent colonization events beyond several hundred metres up to several kilometres (Nathan & Muller-Landau 2000; Sheil & Burslem 2003).”
The relative importance of dispersal limitation of vascular plants in secondary forest succession in Muizen Forest, Belgium (2001, background): “Therefore, collection of data at larger spatial and longer temporal scales and linking them to the underlying mechanisms is a challenge for future research and will facilitate generalization to unstudied sites and species ( Nathan & Muller-Landau 2000 ).”
