Effects of native pigs (Sus scrofa) on woody understorey vegetation in a Malaysian lowland rain forest (2001, background): “Wild (S. scrofa) and bearded pigs (S. barbatus) are thought to be two of the most important predators of fallen fruits and seeds and may in large part account for the mast fruiting phenomenon in Southeast Asia (Curran & Leighton 2000, Curran & Webb 2000).”
Phenological diversity in tropical forests (2001, background): “Curran and her collaborators monitored 54 species of Dipterocarpaceae for more than 10 years, focusing on seed survivorship and seedling recruitment during GF at Gunung Palung National Park in West Kalimantan (Curran et al. 1999; Curran and Leighton 2000; Curran and Webb 2000).”
VERTEBRATE RESPONSES TO SPATIOTEMPORAL VARIATION IN SEED PRODUCTION OF MAST-FRUITING DIPTEROCARPACEAE (2000, background): “…maintenance of mast fruiting in tree populations (Norton and Kelly 1988, Ims 1990, Smith et al. 1990, Lalonde and Roitberg 1992, Sork 1993, Sork et al. 1993, Waller 1993, Curran 1994, Kelly 1994, Koenig et al. 1994, Crawley and Long 1995, Koenig and Knops 1995, Tapper 1996, Curran and Webb 2000).”
The Impact of Hunting on the Mammalian Fauna of Tropical Asian Forests (2007, background): “They are important mobile predators of large seeds, so their depletion or superabundance has the potential for a major impact on forest dynamics in the long term (Curran & Webb 2000).”
Seed predators limit plant recruitment in Neotropical savannas (2011, unknown): “Habitat-speciﬁ c diﬀ erences in seed predation rates could result from such mechanisms as local variation in consumer community composition or abundance (Kauﬀ man and Maron 2006), consumer life-history (Avgar et al. 2008), or foraging behavior (Curran and Webb 2000).”
Reproductive phenology over a 10‐year period in a lowland evergreen rain forest of central Borneo (2007, unknown): “1999; Curran & Leighton 2000; Curran & Webb 2000).”
The spatial scale of plant-animal interactions: effects of resource availability and habitat structure (2011, background): “In fact, processes such as pollination (Leiss and Klinkhamer 2005, Westphal et al. 2006), herbivory (Schaefer and Messier 1995, WallisDeVries et al. 1999), frugivory (Burns 2004, Garcı́a and Ortiz-Pulido 2004), or seed predation (Curran and Webb 2000) have been demonstrated to be multi-scaled.”
Direct and indirect effects of masting on rodent populations and tree seed survival (2002, background): “…tree species in the Bialowieza Primeval Forest in Europe (Pucek et al. 1993, Jedrzejewska and Jedrzejewski 1998), as well as in southeastern Asia, where many dipterocarp species may facilitate ‘‘regional escape’’ from nomadic seed predators (Curran and Leighton 2000, Curran and Webb 2000).”
Traits of recalcitrant seeds in a semi‐deciduous tropical forest in Panamá: some ecological implications (2005, unknown): “Mast fruiting and rapid germination of dipterocarp seeds (Curran & Webb 2000), the vast majority of which are desiccation-sensitive (Tompsett & Kemp 1996), is thought to result from selection pressure from vertebrate seed predators.”
Effects of rain forest logging on species richness and assemblage composition of small mammals in Southeast Asia (2007, unknown): “…weak jaws in combination with short intestinal transition times and simplified colons (Emmons, 1991) that do not allow the processing of the hard dipterocarp and lithocarp fruits that are favoured by murids during the fruiting season in unlogged forests (Curran & Webb, 2000; Wells & Bagchi, 2005).”
Cues versus proximate drivers: testing the mechanism behind masting behavior (2014, background): “…has been documented in diverse plant taxa ranging from temperate and tropical trees (Sork et al. 1993, Koenig et al. 1994b, Crawley and Long 1995, Curran and Webb 2000), to conifers (Koenig and Knops 2000, Sala et al. 2012), small legumes (Crone et al. 2009), various New Zealand trees, grasses…”
Long‐term seed survival and dispersal dynamics in a rodent‐dispersed tree: testing the predator satiation hypothesis and the predator dispersal hypothesis (2013, background): “In tropical Asia, reproductive synchrony among sympatric Dipterocarpaceae species increased seed escape from vertebrate predation and subsequently seedling establishment (Curran & Leighton 2000; Curran & Webb 2000).”
Synchrony and asynchrony: observations and hypotheses for the flowering wave in a long‐lived semelparous bamboo (2004, background): “Curran & Webb (2000) reported that seed predators destroyed all seed that remained after a dipterocarp mast-fruiting and germination event.”
Are plant populations in fragmented habitats recruitment limited? Tests with an amazonian herb (2003, background): “Both primary and secondary seed dispersal can also be reduced in and around fragments (Santos and Telleria 1994, Andresen 2002), and seed predation often increases due to an influx of predators from the habitat surrounding isolates (Santos and Telleria 1997, Curran and Webb 2000).”
