Patterns of woody plant species abundance and diversity in the seedling layer of a tropical forest (2007, background): “Previous studies suggest that low established seedling density on BCI is also due in part to limited seed arrival (Dalling et al. 2002; Hubbell et al. 1999; Muller-Landau et al. 2002; Svenning & Wright 2005) and high seed and early seedling mortality due to pathogen attack or unsuitable environmenta”
Seed dispersal patterns produced by white‐faced monkeys: implications for the dispersal limitation of neotropical tree species (2003, background): “This phenomenon, called seed limitation, reduces population growth rates and provides a mechanism by which competitively inferior species can be maintained in a community for prolonged periods (Crawley 1990; Turnbull et al. 2000; Muller-Landau et al. 2002).”
Seed limitation in a Panamanian forest (2005, background): “The estimated strength of seed limitation varies with temporal scale because the chance that a seed arrives can only increase with the passage of time (Muller-Landau et al. 2002).”
INTERSPECIFIC NEIGHBORS CHANGE SEED DISPERSAL PATTERN OF AN AVIAN-DISPERSED PLANT (2005, result): “Other than these studies, and in spite of its potential relevance in seed limitation and recruitment limitation processes (Muller-Landau et al. 2002), seed dispersal interactions among neighboring plants that share frugivores has received little conceptual or empirical attention.”
Reproductive size thresholds in tropical trees: variation among individuals, species and forests (2005, background): “These smaller size thresholds should be used whenever it is important to identify all reproductive individuals (e.g. for analyses of paternity or seed dispersal; Muller-Landau et al. 2002).”
Consequences of Seed Dispersal for Plant Recruitment in Tropical Forests: Interactions Within the Seedscape (2013, methodology): “Realized dispersal limitation is determined experimentally by redistributing seeds and comparing seedling densities in controls with seeds that were added according to a uniform distribution under actual establishment conditions (Muller-Landau et al. 2002).”
Recruitment limitation of forest communities in a degraded Mediterranean landscape (2009, methodology): “To date, studies compar- ing the relative importance of the two components of recruitment limitation (seed limitation versus establishment limitation) using the community approach are rare, except for tropical forests (see Dalling et al. 2002; Muller-Landau et al. 2002).”
Demographic drivers of successional changes in phylogenetic structure across life-history stages in plant communities (2012, background): “Since early stages are extremely vulnerable (Harms et al. 2000, Muller-Landau et al. 2002), nonrandom patterns of mortality in early establishment could have also contributed to the observed changes in phylogenetic structure.”
Measuring long‐distance seed dispersal in complex natural environments: an evaluation and integration of classical and genetic methods (2008, methodology): “For the immigrant version of this model, SSSi, we further considered the potential input of seeds from source tree outside the plot, by numerically integrating over the area outside the plot, assuming that the density of source trees there was the same as found on the plot (Dalling et al. 2002; Mull”
Role of dispersal in the recruitment limitation of neotropical pioneer species (2002, unknown): “As most pioneer seedling recruitment occurs within the first few months after gap formation (Garwood 1986; Dalling & Hubbell 2002), differential mortality of seedlings prior to the gap census may have influenced our results.”
