• Seed dispersal by fishes in tropical and temperate fresh waters: The growing evidence (2011, background): “Animals are major dispersers of fruits and seeds with 30% of angiosperm families biotically dispersed and another 22% with both biotic and abiotic dispersal (Tiffney and Mazer, 1995; Tiffney, 2004).”
• VERTEBRATE DISPERSAL OF SEED PLANTS THROUGH TIME (2004, background): “Thirty percent of angiosperm families are biotically dispersed, and another 22% possess biotic and abiotic dispersal; 14% of species are biotically dispersed, and 42% possess both biotic and abiotic dispersal (Tiffney & Mazer 1995).”
• Species diversity and ecological range in relation to ploidy level in the flora of the Pyrenees (2004, background): “Many studies have thus examined the potential signi®cance of pollination and dispersal by animals for species diversi®cation (Herrera, 1989; Fleming,1991; Eriksson and Bremer, 1992; Oakwood et al. 1993; Ricklefs and Renner, 1994; Ti€ney and Mazer, 1995).”
• A Multi-Forest Comparison of Dietary Preferences and Seed Dispersal by Ateles spp (2005, background): “Tiffney (1984), and Tiffney and Mazer (1995) linked increases in seed size of tree species and the diversification of large-seeded angiosperm species to the evolution of large-bodied frugivores that could disperse such large seeds.”
• Ecology of plant speciation (2010, background): “Interestingly, both Eriksson & Bremer (1992) and Tiffney & Mazer (1995) found a positive relationship of abiotic dispersal to species richness in herbaceous families, and a negative relationship in woody families.”
