• Towards better prediction of seed dispersal by animals (2010, background): “Distribution parameters estimated from observations under discrete sets of conditions allow us to produce models for animals with different types of coat, or plants with different types of propagule (perhaps through classifying species to functional types: Römermann, Tackenberg & Poschlod 2005; Tack”
• Plant dispersal syndromes are unreliable, especially for predicting zoochory and long‐distance dispersal (2021, background): “Furthermore, Tackenberg et al. (2006) found no differences between retention potentials of diaspores without appendages (unassisted syndrome), with hooked, elongated appendages (epizooch-ory syndrome) or with a ‘balloon structure’ (e.g. Cyperaceae utricles or Poaceae glumes).”
