COMPARATIVE SEED SHADOWS OF BIRD‐, MONKEY‐, AND WIND‐DISPERSED TREES (2005, background): “Empirical and theoretical research suggests that initial spatial distributions of seed dispersal play a crucial role in determining the structure and dynamics of plant populations and communities (see reviews by Nathan and Muller-Landau 2000, Levine and Murrell 2003).”
Species resistance and community response to wind disturbance regimes in northern temperate forests (2006, background): “recruitment). Highly localized dispersal patterns are an important feature of seedling recruitment patterns in forest trees (Janzen 1970; Connell 1971; Ribbens et al . 1994) and many theoretical studies have shown the importance of dispersal for finding suitable germination and establishment substra”
Consequences of Seed Dispersal for Plant Recruitment in Tropical Forests: Interactions Within the Seedscape (2013, background): “…trade-offs between colonization ability, including dispersal ability or fecundity, and other characteristics, such as competitive ability or tolerance in stressful environments, are expected to maintain plant diversity (Tilman 1994, Levin et al. 2003, Levine and Murrell 2003, Muller-Landau 2010).”
Hydrochory increases riparian plant species richness: a comparison between a free‐flowing and a regulated river (2005, background): “2000), so such information is needed (Levine & Murrell 2003), especially for sessile organisms like plants.”
Environmental heterogeneity, bird-mediated directed dispersal, and oak woodland dynamics in Mediterranean Spain (2007, background): “Theoretical explorations also suggest that details of dispersal that can have important effects on the abundance and distribution of plant species (reviewed by Levine and Murrell 2003).”
The state of plant population modelling in light of environmental change (2008, background): “Key questions currently explore the mechanisms of seed dispersal (Higgins et al., 2003; Levine and Murrell, 2003; Davies et al., 2004; Tews et al., 2004; Mistro et al., 2005; Katul et al., 2005; Schurr et al., 2007; Jongejans et al., 2008), and its role for population dynamics.”
Aggregated Seed Dispersal by Spider Monkeys Limits Recruitment to Clumped Patterns in Virola calophylla (2004, background): “Thus, in order to understand the importance of seed dispersal for plant community ecology, we must describe its consequences for later life stages and link patterns of dispersion among multiple life stages (Levine & Murrell 2003).”
Differential seed dispersal patterns generated by a common assemblage of vertebrate frugivores in three fleshy-fruited trees (2008, background): “…Germany, e-mail: isabel.martinez@ufz.de DOI 10.2980/15-2-3096 the potential impact of the spatial distribution of seeds in determining the structure and dynamics of plant populations and communities (Nathan & Muller-Landau, 2000; Levin et al., 2003; Levine & Murrell, 2003; Potthoff et al., 2006).”
