- Plant functional connectivity – integrating landscape structure and effective dispersal (2017, unknown): “Secondary dispersal by ants (myrmecochory) and seed caching animals of seeds that have already been dispersed across a landscape by other biotic and abiotic vectors can also improve the potential for establishment in a new patch (Vander Wall 2003; Gallegos, Hensen & Schleuning 2014).”
- SEED MASS AND MAST SEEDING ENHANCE DISPERSAL BY A NEOTROPICAL SCATTER-HOARDING RODENT (2004, background): “This stepwise dispersal may be due to neighbors that pilfer each other’s caches and transport seeds into their own territory (cf. Vander Wall and Joyner 1998, Vander Wall 2002b, 2003).”
- Spatial patterns of ponderosa pine regeneration in high-severity burn patches (2017, unknown): “Small-scale spatial aggregation in the edge plots may have been from rodents because they usually cache ponderosa pine seeds within 30 m of seed-source trees (Vander Wall, 2003); whereas birds may have contributed to seedling aggregation in the interior plots because they can cache seeds > 10 km awa”
- Scatter hoarding by the Central American agouti: a test of optimal cache spacing theory (2009, unknown): “We checked the caches at 1, 7, 11, 14, 24, 29, 43 and 56 days after placement, recorded seed disappearance, and calculated the rate of removal by pilferers (as in Vander Wall & Jenkins 2003).”
- The effects of seed abundance on seed predation and dispersal by rodents in Castanopsis fargesii (Fagaceae) (2005, background): “Recently, some studies have begun to explore the potential effects of mast seeding on seed predation and dispersal of nutbearing tree species by seed-caching rodents, e.g., four Pinus species in North America (Vander Wall 2002, 2003) and Carapa procera in South America (Jansen 2003).”
- Are you strong enough to carry that seed? Seed size/body size ratios influence seed choices by rodents (2008, background): “Many plant species depend on small rodents for seed dispersal (Vander Wall 1990; Herrera 2002), and the seed-size preferences of these animals can shape the evolution of seed size.”
