The Plight of Large Animals in Tropical Forests and the Consequences for Plant Regeneration (2007, background): “The third paper in this special section (Stoner et al. 2007) reviews plant–mammal interactions for the major tropical regions and presents potential effects of mammal extirpation for plant regeneration.”
Conceptualization and Measurement of Habitat Fragmentation from the Primates’ Perspective (2009, background): “, seed dispersal (Chapman and Onderdonk 1998; Stoner et al. 2007), it is critical to identify the responses of primates to the loss and fragmentation of their habitat.”
Hunting reduces recruitment of primate-dispersed trees in Amazonian Peru (2008, background): “It is becoming clear that community-level effects of hunting do impact plant populations in many disturbed sites in the tropics (e.g. Stoner et al., 2007a, b; Dirzo et al., 2007; Wright et al., 2007), and that other disturbances, such as logging, forest fragmentation, interference from domestic…”
Predicting the Long‐Term Effects of Hunting on Plant Species Composition and Diversity in Tropical Forests (2007, background): “Monkeys are seed dispersers of many species and seed predators of others, and may be both for some species depending on whether seeds are spit out or pass through the gut (Stoner et al. 2007a).”
Maintenance of tree phylogenetic diversity in a highly fragmented rain forest (2012, background): “…fragments (i.e. greater hunting pressures, lower reproductive rates, smaller population sizes, and inmany cases, larger home-range requirements; see Stoner et al. 2007), seed dispersal and seedling recruitment of large-seeded zoochorous tree species may be limited in fragmented forests (Melo,…”
Bushmeat Hunting Alters Recruitment of Large‐seeded Plant Species in Central Africa (2010, methodology): “Although other studies in the neotropics (Guariguata & Pinard 1998, Nuñez-Iturri & Howe 2007, Stoner et al. 2007, Terborgh et al. 2008) and in tropical Asia (Corlett 2007) are in agreement with our results, Wright et al. (2007a) found the oppo- site pattern in Panama concluding that ‘hunters favor…”
Are Primates Ecosystem Engineers? (2012, background): “Thus, with the loss of primate dispersal agents, rates of seed dispersal may inevitably decrease and seed shadows may become smaller, which may result in a reduction in species diversity (Stoner et al. 2007).”
Landscape and patch attributes impacting medium- and large-sized terrestrial mammals in a fragmented rain forest (2013, background): “This process could alter key ecological relationships (e.g. seed dispersal, seed predation and the preservation of food webs), threatening the maintenance of ecosystem integrity (Stoner et al. 2007, Terborgh et al. 2001).”
Barriers or corridors? The overlooked role of unpaved roads in endozoochorous seed dispersal (2013, background): “Therefore, we encourage cautious management of these efficient dispersers (Stoner et al. 2007).”
