• Ecosystem Services Provided by Birds (2008, background): “More broadly, seedling recruitment of the guild of animal-dispersed tree species was 3–40 times lower in fragments than in larger forests, while seedling recruitment among wind-dispersed species was unaffected by fragmentation (Cordeiro & Howe 2001).”
• AN EXPERIMENTAL TEST OF WHETHER HABITAT CORRIDORS AFFECT POLLEN TRANSFER (2005, background): “Habitat fragmentation may have major impacts on plant demography through disruption of such mutualisms (Rathcke and Jules 1993, Hamilton 1999, Cordeiro and Howe 2001, Spira 2001).”
• Biased seed rain in forest edges: Evidence from the Brazilian Atlantic forest (2006, background): “…in allochthonous seed rain are possible in the case habitat loss and fragmentation, usually associated with hunting, deplete the abundance of vertebrate seed dispersers and consequently the rates of seed delivery (Cordeiro and Howe, 2001, 2003; Chapman et al., 2003; Melo and Tabarelli, 2003).”
• AVIAN EXTINCTIONS FROM TROPICAL AND SUBTROPICAL FORESTS (2004, background): “A similar predicament has been found for African trees that rely heavily on birds for seed dispersal (Cordeiro & Howe 2001, 2003).”
• Area, shape and isolation of tropical forest fragments: effects on tree species diversity and implications for conservation (2003, background): “The reduction might be explained, however, by an overall loss of animals due to forest fragmentation (Chiarello & de Melo, 2001; Cordeiro & Howe, 2001; Harrington et al., 2001).”
• Differential Effects of Hunting on Pre‐Dispersal Seed Predation and Primary and Secondary Seed Removal of Two Neotropical Tree Species (2007, background): “Habitat loss due to forest fragmentation decreases abundances of important mammal and bird seed dispersers (Laurance & Bierregaard 1997, Cordeiro & Howe 2001), and acts synergistically with hunting (Peres 2001).”
• Effects of Life‐History Traits on Responses of Plant Species to Forest Fragmentation (2005, background): “Dispersal is mainly affected by patch isolation; negative effects of forest fragmentation have been shown for a number of animal-dispersed species (e.g., Santos et al. 1999; Cordeiro & Howe 2001).”
• Seed predation of Araucaria angustifolia (Araucariaceae) in the Brazilian Araucaria Forest: influence of deposition site and comparative role of small and ‘large’ mammals (2008, background): “In general it is recognized that the loss of seed dispersers negatively influences recruitment and reduces seedling establishment (Redford 1992; Chapman and Chapman 1995; Cordeiro and Howe 2001; Galetti et al. 2006).”
• Patterns of Seed Dispersal and Dispersal Failure in a Hawaiian Dry Forest Having Only Introduced Birds (2010, background): “…of dispersers may sometimes be compensated for by surrogate dispersal agents or a concomitant loss of seed predators (Dausmann et al. 2008), restoration of degraded areas may also be limited by lack of seed dispersal into these sites (Cordeiro & Howe 2001, Howe & Miriti 2004, Makana & Thomas 2004).”
• The myriad consequences of hunting for vertebrates and plants in tropical forests (2003, background): “The extent of dispersal of animal-dispersed seeds is relatively greater in larger forests than in smaller forests and parallels the number of species of frugivorous vertebrates present (Pizo 1997; Bleher & Böhning-Gaese 2001; Cordeiro & Howe 2001).”
• Seed dispersal by spider monkeys and its importance in the maintenance of neotropical rain-forest diversity (2006, background): “In fact, several recent studies suggest that the loss of primates from tropical ecosystems can have marked effects on recruitment for the plant species comprising the diets of those primates (Chapman & Onderdonk 1998, Cordeiro & Howe 2001, Marsh & Loiselle 2003).”
• Effects of Single and Recurrent Wildfires on Fruit Production and Large Vertebrate Abundance in a Central Amazonian Forest (2006, background): “…in large vertebrate abundance following forest disturbance can have severe effects on animal-mediated tree-seed dispersal and recruitment (Cordeiro and Howe 2001; Peres and Roosmalen 2002), especially in regions such as the neotropics, where density-dependent seed mortality is pervasive…”
