• SEED MASS AND MAST SEEDING ENHANCE DISPERSAL BY A NEOTROPICAL SCATTER-HOARDING RODENT (2004, result): “Differences in seed abundance may explain why some studies found discrimination against small seeds during seed removal (Hallwachs 1994, Vander Wall 1995, 2003, Brewer and Webb 2001) whereas others did not (Theimer 2003, Xiao et al. 2004).”
• Rodent acorn selection in a Mediterranean oak landscape (2007, result): “Acorns were labelled for their identification with a numbered plastic label tied on with a thin iron string (Xiao et al. 2004; mean weight of labels 0.54±0.01 g, n=10).”
• Moonlight and shelter cause differential seed selection and removal by rodents (2011, background): “Scatter-hoarding rodents are known as one of the main guilds of seed dispersers (Xiao et al. 2004; Den Ouden et al. 2005; Steele et al. 2007; Briggs et al. 2009).”
• Seed dispersal distances: a typology based on dispersal modes and plant traits (2007, background): “Small rodents, like voles or mice (Clethrionomys sp., Microtus sp., Apodemus sp.), generally disperse seeds less than 30 m (Cain et al. 1998; Xiao et al. 2004 ), and squirrels (Sciurus sp.) a little farther.”
• Are you strong enough to carry that seed? Seed size/body size ratios influence seed choices by rodents (2008, background): “…studies have shown that rodents prefer large over small seeds (e.g. Vander Wall 1994; Garb et al. 2000; Brewer 2001), and that large seeds are preferentially dispersed and cached (Vander Wall 1995, 2003; Jansen et al. 2002; Xiao et al. 2004), even though they involve higher transporting costs.”
