Fruit quantity of invasive shrubs predicts the abundance of common native avian frugivores in central Pennsylvania (2011, background): “In addition, both of these species have been shown to be consumed in high quantities by a wide range of bird species (Ingold & Craycraft, 1983; Reichard et al., 2001; Bartuszevige & Gorchov, 2006).”
The relative importance of landscape and community features in the invasion of an exotic shrub in a fragmented landscape (2006, background): “American robins are major dispersers of L. maackii and move distances of this magnitude during the passage time of L. maackii seeds (ca 90 min, Bartuszevige and Gorchov 2005 ).”
Structuring evidence for invasional meltdown: broad support but with biases and gaps (2018, background): “For example, analyzing which species of bird dispersed seeds of an invasive shrub and if the seeds were viable after gut passage, Bartuszevige and Gorchov (2006) identified a non-native species as an important viable seed disperser.”
The role of avian 'seed predators' as seed dispersers (2011, background): “These frugivores have been called ‘seed predators’ (Janzen 1971), ‘opportunists’ and ‘exploiters’ (McKey 1975), ‘seed consumers’ (Hampe 2001), ‘granivores’ (Bartuszevige & Gorchov 2006) and ‘fruit thieves’ (Howe 1980), and are generally considered to play a negligible role in seed dispersal.”
Habitat selection of breeding riparian birds in an urban environment: untangling the relative importance of biophysical elements and spatial scale (2011, background): “Within each subplot, we identified all woody plants with stems < 10 cm diameter and measured the height of the tree (> 10 cm dbh) nearest the subplot’s Figure 1 Location of the 71 study plots used to examine bird distributions in riparian areas within the Mill Creek watershed in the greater Cincinna”
