Do scatter hoarders trade off increased predation risks for lower rates of cache pilferage (2014, neutral): “Vander Wall SB, Jenkins SH. 2003.”
The functional roles of mammals in ecosystems (2019, neutral): “But many individual rodents, including members of different species that scatter-hoard seeds in a similar way, engage in “cache exchanges,” in which the seeds that are eventually consumed are not necessarily those initially stored by that individual (Vander Wall and Jenkins 2003; Price and Mittler 2”
Explaining variation in Brazil nut fruit production (2007, background): “…producing large nutritious nuts (Jansen, 2003), has several advantages for the plant: facilitation of transportation away from the source plant, nut burial for seed protection and improved germination, and caching in microenvironments more favorable for seedling establishment (Vander Wall, 2001).”
Re-evaluation of the relationship between rodent populations and acorn masting: a review from the aspect of nutrients and defensive chemicals in acorns (2006, neutral): “They are a large and potentially digestible food, thereby providing high levels of energy per seed (Vander Wall 2001).”
Invasion by the chestnut gall wasp in Italy causes significant yield loss in Castanea sativa nut production (2014, background): “Chestnuts are also an important component in food webs and in the evolution of forest ecosystems (Vander Wall, 2001; Dalgleish & Swihart, 2012).”
Genetic homogeneity in Juglans nigra (Juglandaceae) at nuclear microsatellites (2006, background): “Walnuts also are an important food source for rodents, especially squirrels (Vander Wall, 2001).”
Moonlight and shelter cause differential seed selection and removal by rodents (2011, background): “Furthermore, seeds that are not removed rapidly by scatter-hoarding rodents will be exposed to seed predators, which make the seeds inviable and decrease plant reproduction efficiency (Vander Wall 2001).”
