Seed dispersal by fishes in tropical and temperate fresh waters: The growing evidence (2011, background): “…suggests that seasonal, highly abundant fruit types in Amazonian floodplain forests constitute an additional niche dimension that could have driven adaptive radiation of serrasalmid frugivorous fishes, similar to that for the radiation of frugivorous mammals during the Eocene (Eriksson, 2008).”
The functional roles of mammals in ecosystems (2019, background): “Fruit and seed size diversity increased substantially during the early Paleogene, as angiosperms formed closed-canopy forests, which often favor the evolution of large seeds (Eriksson 2008).”
Being John Harper: Using evolutionary ideas to improve understanding of global patterns in plant traits (2018, background): “Phylogenetic analyses and palaeontological information can help us to understand the ways in which biotic and abiotic factors shaped plant evolution, presentday species distributions and community assemblages, and coordination between different traits (Barnosky et al., 2017; Eriksson, 2008; Wiens & ”
