• The fossil history of palms (Arecaceae) in Africa and new records from the Late Oligocene (28–27 Mya) of north-western Ethiopia (2006, background): “Both fossils are of uncertain botanical affinity and M. spheroidites may even be a cycad (Nichols, Ames & Traverse, 1973; Tiffney, 2004).”
• A Nonflowering Land Plant Phylogeny Inferred from Nucleotide Sequences of Seven Chloroplast, Mitochondrial, and Nuclear Genes (2007, background): “…of the organisms that coevolved with plants to establish the modern terrestrial ecosystems, e.g., animals (Banks and Colthart 1993; Edwards et al. 1995; Labandeira 1998, 2002; Dilcher 2000; Tiffney 2004) and fungi (Remy et al. 1994; Taylor et al. 1995, 2005; Brundrett 2002; Wang and Qiu 2006).”
• Being John Harper: Using evolutionary ideas to improve understanding of global patterns in plant traits (2018, background): “…the fossil record shows that the first fleshy fruit arose several million years before the first potential vertebrate dispersers appeared on land (Tiffney, 2004), so the earliest function of fleshy fruit is much more likely to be defence against invertebrate seed predators than seed dispersal…”
• Gene Flow, Risk Assessment and the Environmental Release of Transgenic Plants (2008, background): “The paper by Tiffney (2004) on vertebrate dispersal of seed plants gives important ecological considerations for anyone considering developing an indepth assessment of the factors likely to affect gene flow from a GM plant.”
• Evolution of fruit types and seed dispersal: A phylogenetic and ecological snapshot (2008, background): “At the beginning of the Tertiary period, several events might have had substantial impact on fruit evolution, especially the marked increase in the abundance and diversity of fleshy fruits (Eriksson et al., 2000a, b; Tiffney, 2004).”
• On the role of enemies in divergence and diversification of prey: a review and synthesis (2005, background): “Seed predators and dispersers exert significant selection pressures on plants (Janzen 1971; Hulme 1998; Strauss and Irwin 2004; Tiffney 2004).”
• Pleistocene megafaunal extinctions and the functional loss of long‐distance seed‐dispersal services (2018, unknown): “We applied here the ‘biological uniformitarianism’ rule and use morphological features of known ecological function in the present day as indicators of functional relations in the past (Tiffney 2004).”
• Seed dispersal by fishes in tropical and temperate fresh waters: The growing evidence (2011, background): “All rights reserved. species involved and the intact functioning of ecosystems (Howe and Smallwood, 1982; Nathan and Muller-Landau, 2000; Herrera, 2002; Tiffney, 2004; Bolmgren and Eriksson, 2010).”
• Evolution of Seed Size and Biotic Seed Dispersal in Angiosperms: Paleoecological and Neoecological Evidence (2008, methodology): “According to Tiffney (2004), this new arena for plant-animal coevolution allowed plants to evolve larger seeds, which were suitable for establishing offspring under closed canopies.”
