On the formation of dense understory layers in forests worldwide: consequences and implications for forest dynamics, biodiversity, and succession (2006, background): “Nonetheless, long-term studies in other plant systems have documented that selective seed and seedling predation can lead to rapid changes in plant community composition (e.g., Brown and Heske 1990; Gill and Marks 1991; Ostfeld and Canham 1993; Howe and Brown 2001).”
A rodent plague on prairie diversity (2002, background): “effects of increased plant diversity through suppression of aggressive large-seeded dicots and release of small-seeded species ( Howe & Brown 2000, 2001 ).”
Ecosystem Services Provided by Birds (2008, background): “Nonetheless, there are examples of rodents having strong effects in agricultural crops (Brown et al. 2007), natural plant communities (Ostfeld & Canham 1993; Cote et al. 2003; Lopez & Terborgh 2007), and newly established synthetic prairie gardens (Howe & Brown 1999, 2001; Howe et al. 2002).”
Seed predation, not seed dispersal, explains the landscape‐level abundance of an early‐successional plant (2006, background): “An important point is that predators often exhibit preferences for particular species, and the activities of predators can lead to changes in plant communities (Brown & Heske 1990; Howe & Brown 2000, 2001).”
EFFECTS OF SMALL RODENTS AND LARGE MAMMALS ON NEOTROPICAL SEEDS (2004, background): “These results suggest a role for small Neotropical rodents similar to that documented for small rodents within temperate forest communities (Ostfeld et al. 1997, Howe and Brown 2001, Schnurr et al. 2002).”
NET EFFECTS OF LARGE MAMMALS ON ACACIA SEEDLING SURVIVAL IN AN AFRICAN SAVANNA (2004, background): “In other ecological systems, small mammals and insects have been shown to strongly influence the abundance and dynamics of a multitude of plant species (Brown and Heske 1990, Howe and Brown 2001, Gomez and Gonzalez-Megias 2002).”
Integrating plant- and animal-based perspectives for more effective restoration of biodiversity (2016, background): “( 2012 ) Seed predation Seed- eating mammals (rodents) and insects (beetles) Moderate Uncommon Howe and Brown ( 2001 ) Seedling defoliation Herbivorous mammals and insects Moderate Uncommon Côté et al. ( 2004 ) Trophic cascades Carnivorous mammals and their prey Moderate Predominant Ripple et al. (…”
