Masting and trophic cascades: interplay between rowan trees, apple fruit moth, and their parasitoid in southern Norway (2004, background): “This phenomenon is called masting, or mast seeding (Kelly 1994, Kelly and Sork 2002).”
Testing the resource-matching hypothesis in the mast seeding tree Nothofagus truncata (Fagaceae) (2006, background): “However, the number of species with published demonstrations of switching (10) is far smaller than the number of species with published highly variable seedfall datasets (of 175 species in Kelly & Sork 2002; 66 species have coefficients of variation of 1.5 or greater).”
Using simulations and data to evaluate mean sensitivity (ζ) as a useful statistic in dendrochronology (2013, background): “For example, pines (Pinus spp.) can produce mast seed crops causing resource depletion and subsequent negative values of although those growth processes would no longer fit an AR(1) model (see Kelly and Sork, 2002 for a review of masting).”
Cues versus proximate drivers: testing the mechanism behind masting behavior (2014, methodology): “First, interannual variation in seed set in many taxa can be explained in part by variation in particular weather conditions (Sork et al. 1993, Koenig et al. 1996, Kelly and Sork 2002, Kelly et al. 2013).”
Linking seed dispersal to cache protection strategies (2011, background): “Moreover, this phenomenon could lead to the evolu- tion of masting for some species if in mast years cached seeds are less likely to be retrieved (Kelly & Sork 2002).”
Explaining variation in Brazil nut fruit production (2007, methodology): “Production variation of tropical species in general is poorly documented (Herrera et al., 1998; Kelly and Sork, 2002; although see Wright et al., 2005), and very few studies have K.”
Long‐term seed survival and dispersal dynamics in a rodent‐dispersed tree: testing the predator satiation hypothesis and the predator dispersal hypothesis (2013, background): “As first suggested by Kelly & Sork (2002), we further emphasize the importance of longterm studies that integrate annual seed production with population and behavioural responses of seed predators to predict their impacts on seed dispersal and seed survival through time and space, and thereby to…”
Some Evolutionary Consequences of Being a Tree (2006, background): “Recent meta-analyses of extensive data sets indicate that both components may be involved to varying extents (Kelly & Sork 2002).”
Climate cues and resources interact to determine seed production by a masting species (2011, methodology): “Given the resources required to support substantial increases in seed production, nutrient availability must influence the incidence of mast seeding (Janzen 1971; Kelly & Sork 2002; Rees, Kelly & Bjørnstad 2002).”
Local‐scale synchrony and variability in mast seed production patterns of Picea glauca (2007, background): “Long-term studies on individual plants and investigations of the local-scale extent of mast seeding have both been suggested as important directions for research on mast seeding (Kelly 1994; Herrera 1998; Herrera et al . 1998; DeSteven & Wright 2002; Kelly & Sork 2002; Buonaccorsi et al . 2003; Ko”
Within-population spatial synchrony in mast seeding of North American oaks (2004, background): “Mast seeding is the synchronous production of large numbers of seeds within a population of plants (Janzen 1969, Silverton 1980, Sork et al. 1993, Kelly 1994, Kelly and Sork 2002 ).”
Effects of mast seeding and rodent abundance on seed predation and dispersal by rodents in Prunus armeniaca (Rosaceae) (2007, background): “This also supports the prediction of the predator satiation hypothesis: a decrease in removal rates during mast years (Janzen, 1971; Kelly and Sork, 2002).”
Scatter-hoarding corvids as seed dispersers for oaks and pines: A review of a widely distributed mutualism and its utility to habitat restoration (2016, background): “Rapid satiation of the hoarders, in turn, increases the probability that seeds are stored and not just consumed (Tomback 1982, Tomback and Linhart 1990, Koenig and Benedict 2002, Vander Wall 2010, Vander Wall and Beck 2012).”
CLIMATE AND NET CARBON AVAILABILITY DETERMINE TEMPORAL PATTERNS OF SEED PRODUCTION BY NOTHOFAGUS (2005, background): “Irregular seed production among years is a widespread characteristic of many long-lived plant species populations (Harper 1977, Kelly and Sork 2002).”
The consecutive disparity index, D : a measure of temporal variability in ecological studies (2018, methodology): “❖ www.esajournals.org 10 December 2018 ❖ Volume 9(12) ❖ Article e02527 particularly often relied on describing the behavior of fruit production using CVs and temporal autocorrelation (Sork et al. 1993, Herrera et al. 1998, Kelly and Sork 2002).”
