Differences among ant species in plant protection are related to production of extrafloral nectar and degree of leaf herbivory (2017, methodology): “…partner protection behaviour and effectiveness is common in generalized mutualisms including pollination, seed dispersal and plant root microbiomes (Schupp et al., 2010; Orona-Tamayo & Heil, 2013; RodríguezRodríguez et al., 2013; Genrich et al., 2017), and can affect the outcomes of the…”
Overfishing disrupts an ancient mutualism between frugivorous fishes and plants in Neotropical wetlands (2015, background): “Most studies assessing seed dispersal effectiveness focus on birds and mammals (Schupp et al., 2010) as these are the classic model systems for endozoochorous seed dispersal (Fleming and Kress, 2013).”
Variation in seed dispersal effectiveness: the redundancy of consequences in diversified tropical frugivore assemblages (2016, positive): “In order to graphically compare the QC profile among plant species, we constructed separate QC curves for Euterpe, Sloanea and Virola (Schupp et al. 2010, Jordano 2014).”
Do larger frugivores move seeds further? Body size, seed dispersal distance, and a case study of a large, sedentary pigeon (2012, background): “While a range of factors influence dispersal effectiveness (Schupp et al., 2010), we focused on whether seeds dispersed by large birds are more likely to escape from negative parental effects and to colonize distant sites.”
The dispersal syndrome hypothesis: How animals shaped fruit traits, and how they did not (2020, background): “…is a relatively straightforward metric to estimate fitness, there is no easy parallel in fruit-frugivore interactions, as the fitness benefit is determined by both quantitative and qualitative aspects of seed handling (Schupp et al., 2010)—processes that are much harder to observe and manipulate.”
Who dispersed the seeds? The use of DNA barcoding in frugivory and seed dispersal studies (2014, background): “(see Schupp et al .”
Linking plant phenology to conservation biology (2016, background): “Frugivorous animals critically rely on fruits, and fundamental aspects of their ecology— including diet, population size, social behaviour, reproduction, and movements — depend on fruit abundance and seasonality (Hanya and Chapman, 2013), which in turn affect seed dispersal and germination effective”
Are Primates Ecosystem Engineers? (2012, background): “…alterations in the transition probabilities between seed, seedling, sapling, and adult stages, the spatial component of these transitions, and the consequences for interspecific interactions among plants, e.g., allelopathy, competition (Balcomb and Chapman 2003; Schupp 1993; Schupp et al. 2010).”
Plant functional connectivity – integrating landscape structure and effective dispersal (2017, positive): “These factors can not only interact with landscape structure but can also occur independently, affecting the quality of seed dispersal (Schupp, Jordano & G (cid:1) omez 2010), and as a consequence the potential for functional connectivity.”
