• Trait convergence and trait divergence in herbaceous plant communities: Mechanisms and consequences (2006, background): “The traits involved include the size, shape, dispersal mechanism and dormancy of seeds (Grime & Jeffrey 1965; Thompson et al. 1993; Moles et al. 2000) and the physiological characteristics that influence the time and place of germination (Grime et al. 1981; Baskin & Baskin 1998).”
• The Ecology of Seeds: References (2005, background): “In New Zealand, persistent seeds are significantly smaller than transient seeds (Moles et al., 2000), although the relationship is driven entirely by the absence of transient seed banks among species with very small (<0.”
• Seed size, shape and persistence in the soil in an Iranian flora (2001, unknown): “Where large-seeded persistent species predominate, for example in Australia and (to a lesser extent) in New Zealand, other factors may interfere with the relationship between seed size and predation.”
• Seed size and plant strategy across the whole life cycle (2006, background): “…1979, Thompson 1987, Leck 1989, Thompson et al. 1993, 2001, Price and Joyner 1997, Bekker et al. 1998, Hodkinson et al. 1998, Funes et al. 1999, Moles et al. 2000) would mean that smallseeded species were exposed to the action of burrowing seed predators and fungal pathogens for much longer…”
• Seed viability and dormancy of 17 weed species after 19.7 years of burial in Alaska (2006, result): “In contrast, the relationship between seed size and soil persistence was not found for species studied in Australia (Leishman and Westoby 1998) or New Zealand (Moles et al. 2000).”
• The Evolutionary ecology of seed size (2000, background): “If this is the correct explanation for persistent seeds tending to be small and rounded in European herbaceous vegetation , presumably mechanisms of burial and disturbance are different in Australia (Leishman and Westoby, 1998) and New Zealand (Moles et al., 2000).”
• Structural, physiological and molecular aspects of heterogeneity in seeds: a review (2005, background): “Some plant communities of persistent seeds have smaller and more rounded seeds than communities of transient seeds (Thompson et al., 1993; Bekker et al., 1998; Hodkinson et al., 1998; Funes et al., 1999; Moles et al., 2000; Thompson et al., 2001; Peco et al., 2003).”
• Seed size, shape and persistence in soil: a test on Italian flora from Alps to Mediterranean coasts (2003, background): “…et al., 1993, 1998, 2001; Leishman and Westoby, 1998; Funes *Correspondence Fax: +39 0332 421554 Email: bruno.cerabolini@uninsubria.it et al., 1999; Moles et al., 2000): (1) differences in the evolutionary history of seed dispersal; (2) differences in burial mechanisms and the relative importance…”
• Alpine species seed longevity in the soil in relation to seed size and shape – A 5-year burial experiment in the Central Alps (2010, background): “Numerous studies (Bakker et al., 1996; Bekker et al., 1998; Cerabolini et al., 2003; Dalling et al., 1997; Eriksson, 1995; Funes et al., 1999; Kyereh et al., 1999; Leck, 1989; McDonald et al., 1996; Moles et al., 2000; Peco et al., 2003; Thompson, 1987; Thompson et al., 1993, 2001; Tsuyuzaki, 1991) ”
• Seed size, shape and persistence in dry Mediterranean grass and scrublands (2003, background): “The lower value of seed shape in comparison with seed weight for predicting persistence has also been found by Moles et al. (2000) and Thompson et al. (2001).”
