• Scatter-hoarding corvids as seed dispersers for oaks and pines: A review of a widely distributed mutualism and its utility to habitat restoration (2016, background): “Seed dispersal by animals is common and takes a variety of forms: 40–90% of woody species in tropical rainforests and 25–80% of temperate plant species rely on seed dispersal facilitated by animals, or zoochory (Howe and Smallwood 1982, Jordano 2000).”
• Ecological and evolutionary consequences of living in a defaunated world (2013, background): “…the world, can be translated into global-scale impacts, because the majority of trees from tropical forests, where a very large amount of the carbon on Earth is stored (Ashton et al., 2012), depend of the dispersal services of frugivorous vertebrates (Almeida-Neto et al., 2008; Jordano, 1992).”
• The Worldwide Spread, Success, and Impact of Ragweed (Ambrosia spp.) (2017, background): “…seeds when the environmental parameters are unsuitable and promotes the establishment of a soil seed bank (Finch-Savage and Leubner-Metzger, 2006; Gioria et al., 2016), which buffer plant populations against environmental variability and increase the time of (local) extinction (Thompson, 2000).”
• Community assembly along a soil depth gradient: contrasting patterns of plant trait convergence and divergence in a Mediterranean rangeland (2012, neutral): “1998) can be advantageous under unpredictable inter-annual variations in perturbations such as severe summer drought (Thompson 2000).”
• Being John Harper: Using evolutionary ideas to improve understanding of global patterns in plant traits (2018, background): “For example, while seed mass typically varies two- to fourfold within a species, this within- species variation is dwarfed by the 11 orders of magnitude variation in seed mass at the cross- species level (Leishman et al., 2000).”
• The functional role of soil seed banks in natural communities. (2014, background): “Persistent soil seed banks can be subdivided further into short-term persistent for seeds that are detectable for more than 1 but less than 5 years, and long-term persistent seed banks that are present for more than 5 years (Maas, 1987; Bakker, 1989; Thompson and Fenner, 1992).”
• Seed size and provenance mediate the joint effects of disturbance and seed predation on community assembly (2012, background): “Disturbance removes competition from resident vegetation for resources such as nutrients, light and water, as well as freeing suitable microsites for germination, which can influence the probability that seeds establish as seedlings (Harper 1977; Crawley 1992).”
• The macroecology of animal versus wind pollination: ecological factors are more important than historical climate stability (2016, neutral): “Interestingly, current climate may play a similar role for seed dispersal as there is also a pattern of higher importance of animal dispersers in rain forests, whereas in dry forests wind and self-dispersal are more common (Howe and Smallwood 1982; Jordano 2000 and references therein).”
• Ecological strategies begin at germination: Traits, plasticity and survival in the first 4 days of plant life (2020, background): “The first axis cemented a firm link between seedling tissue construction and seed mass (small seeded species typically have thinner, efficient tissues, i.e. greater resource-acquiring surface area per mass; Maranon & Grubb 1993; Kitajima & Fenner 2000).”
• Restoration potential of the persistent soil seed bank in successional calcareous (alvar) grasslands in Estonia (2012, background): “This result also follows the accepted generalization that species that prefer shaded, mesic and late-successional habitats tend to have larger seeds than those from open, arid, or early-successional habitats (Salisbury 1942; Gross 1984; Leishman et al. 2000).”
