Predicting the Long‐Term Effects of Hunting on Plant Species Composition and Diversity in Tropical Forests (2007, background): “Hunting changes the abundances of important vertebrate seed dispersers, seed predators, and browsers, whether through direct impacts on these species or via indirect impacts of the hunting of their competitors or predators (Emmons 1989, Peres & Palacios 2007).”
Synergies among extinction drivers under global change. (2008, background): “With the loss of avian and mammal frugivores in degraded and fragmented forests, mid- and late-successional trees lose their primary long-distance dispersers and fail to replace themselves [45, 46 ].”
The Plight of Large Animals in Tropical Forests and the Consequences for Plant Regeneration (2007, background): “Given the grave impact of hunting on frugivores in Amazonian forests documented by Peres and Palacios (2007), the indirect effect on seed dispersal is expected to be particularly severe for species whose seeds are dispersed by game species.”
Ecosystem Services Provided by Birds (2008, background): “Through much of the neotropical rainforests, hunting of large vertebrates is likely to lead to increased dispersal and abundance of species dispersed by small birds, bats, and wind (Peres & Palacios 2007; Wright et al. 2007).”
The Role of Mammals in Creating and Modifying Seedshadows in Tropical Forests and Some Possible Consequences of Their Elimination (2007, background): “Mammal size is one of the most important characteristics determining both hunting pressure (Jerozolimski & Peres 2003, Peres & Palacios 2007) and seed manipulation.”
Differential Responses to Hunting in Two Sympatric Species of Brocket Deer (Mazama americana and M. nana) (2008, background): “First, the difference may reflect hunters’ preference for larger prey (Jerozolimski & Peres 2003, Fa et al. 2005, Peres & Palacios 2007).”
Priority areas for the conservation of Atlantic forest large mammals (2009, background): “(For interpretation of the references to color in this (2000), which are widely used throughout the neotropics (see Peres and Palacios, 2007).”
