• Effects of seed size on dispersal distance in five rodent-dispersed fagaceous species (2005, background): “For example, spiny pocket mice (55 g) move only a shorter distance with larger seeds of Astrocaryum mexicanum (14.3 g, 61 mm length; Brewer, 2001).”
• How plants manipulate the scatter-hoarding behaviour of seed-dispersing animals (2010, background): “2008); however, a few studies (Brewer 2001; Xiao et al. 2004) have failed to observe this behaviour.”

• Are you strong enough to carry that seed? Seed size/body size ratios influence seed choices by rodents (2008, background): “In this context, most field studies have shown that rodents prefer large over small seeds (e.g. Vander Wall 1994; Garb et al. 2000; Brewer 2001), and that large seeds are preferentially dispersed and cached (Vander Wall 1995, 2003; Jansen et al. 2002; Xiao et al. 2004), even though they involve…”
• Spatial and temporal variation of seed predation and removal of sympatric large-seeded species in relation to innate seed traits in a subtropical forest, Southwest China (2006, background): “predation, removal and caching by granivorous rodents; this in turn affects seed survival and seedling recruitment (e.g. Price and Jenkins, 1986; Vander Wall, 1990; Forget et al., 1998; Brewer, 2001; Jansen and Forget, 2001; Chauvet et al., 2004).”
• Seed predation of Araucaria angustifolia (Araucariaceae) in the Brazilian Araucaria Forest: influence of deposition site and comparative role of small and ‘large’ mammals (2008, background): “Nevertheless, some studies have highlighted the importance of small rodents as seed and seedlings predators in the Neotropics (e.g., Terborgh et al. 1993; SánchezCordero and Martı́nez-Gallardo 1998; Brewer and Rejmánek 1999; Brewer 2001; Vieira et al. 2003; DeMattia et al. 2004; DeMattia et al. 2006”
