Direct seeding of late-successional trees to restore tropical montane forest (2011, background): “…trees suggest that a majority of larger-seeded species are recalcitrant (sensitive to desiccation and temperature, and germinate rapidly; Daws et al., 2005; Sautu et al., 2006; Vazquez-Yanes and d Man O i c a u 2 a t f o a 2 d t D i d a ( H t e c i l f s t e ( a ( c r i s h 1 d o r s t…”
The relationship between seed mass and mean time to germination for 1037 tree species across five tropical forests (2009, background): “Time to germination is indeed known to correlate with others seed traits such as desiccation sensitivity (Daws et al. 2005), seed coat thickness, (Daws et al. 2005, 2007b), timing of dispersal (Garwood 1983; Daws et al. 2005), and dispersal syndrome (Bu et al. 2008).”
Studies on the seed biology of 100 native species of trees in a seasonal moist tropical forest, Panama, Central America (2006, background): “Recently, Daws et al. (2005) studied traits of 225 BCI tree, shrub, and liana species related to desiccation sensitivity (recalcitrant versus orthodox).”
