Megagardeners of the forest - the role of elephants in seed dispersal (2011, background): “This might be the case with the seeds of Sclerocarva caffra (Lewis, 1987) and Balanites wilsoniana (Chapman et al., 1992; Cochrane, 2003).”
Predicting the Long‐Term Effects of Hunting on Plant Species Composition and Diversity in Tropical Forests (2007, background): “For example, 54.6 percent of Balanites wilsonia seeds collected from elephant dung piles germinated, compared with 20.6 percent of seeds remaining in rotting fruit under fruiting trees, suggesting u = 0.38 in this species (Cochrane 2003).”
Passive external transport of freshwater invertebrates by elephant and other mud-wallowing mammals in an African savannah habitat (2011, background): “Elephants have already been reported to be prime dispersal agents of seeds of many trees, particularly in the primary rainforest (Cochrane, 2003; Kitamura et al., 2007; Campos-Arceiz et al., 2008) and semi-arid woodland habitats (Dudley, 1999, 2000).”
African elephant status report 2007 : an update from the African elephant database (2002, background): “While the effect of the African elephant on its habitat is often beneficial (Cochrane, 2003; Magliocca et al., 2003; Nchanji & Plumptre, 2003; Or & Ward, 2003; Ruggiero & Fay, 1994), it can have a detrimental impact on vegetation where high densities build up in confined areas (Craig, 1995;…”
Costs of dispersal (2012, background): “Cochrane, E. P. (2003). The need to be eaten: Balanites wilsoniana with and without elephant seed-dispersal.”
Doom of the elephant-dependent trees in a Congo tropical forest (2013, unknown): “We distinguished the species with megafaunal syndrome following the criteria of Feer (1995a) and Guimarães et al.”
