Model selection and model averaging in behavioural ecology: the utility of the IT-AIC framework (2010, background): “Soil moisture could increase the release of olfactory signals by seeds in soil, thereby increasing the chance they are encountered by seed foragers (Vander Wall 2000).”
Reciprocal pilferage and the evolution of food-hoarding behavior (2003, background): “Because scatter-hoarded items, particularly those made by rodents, are typically buried a few centimeters below the soil surface (Vander Wall, 1993), the food items are not visible and the odor cues that they emit should not travel as far as the cues of food items on the surface that have not yet be”
The behaviour and evolution of cache protection and pilferage (2006, background): “Consequently, the impact of cache loss through the use of olfaction might vary as weather conditions change (Vander Wall 2000).”
The functional roles of mammals in ecosystems (2019, background): “Some species of rodents, such as yellow-pine chipmunks (Tamius amoenus—Vander Wall 2000), Merriam’s kangaroo rats (Dipodomys merriami—Murray et al.”
Rodent scatterhoarders as conditional mutualists. (2005, background): “For example, in arid areas, the ability of rodents to detect caches via olfaction depends on soil moisture, with lower detection rates under very dry conditions (Vander Wall, 1993, 1995, 2000).”
