Being John Harper: Using evolutionary ideas to improve understanding of global patterns in plant traits (2018, background): “Second, there appears to be an upper limit to the size of seeds that a given size of seed predator can efficiently handle (Muñoz & Bonal, 2008), leading large seed predators to select large seeds and small seed predators to select smaller seeds (Abbott & Van Heurk, 1985; Honek, Martinkova, Saska, &…”
Linking seed dispersal to cache protection strategies (2011, methodology): “Both species are nocturnal and are prominent acorn predators, but they disperse and cache them as well (Muñoz & Bonal 2007, 2008b).”
