• Germination capacity and viability of threatened species collections in seed banks (2010, background): “The longevity of seeds stored under laboratory conditions does not necessarily correlate with their persistence in nature (Thompson 2000; Walters et al. 2005), suggesting that the mechanisms of deterioration and protection are different in these contrasting environments (Walters et al. 2005).”
• The Legacy of Plant Invasions: Changes in the Soil Seed Bank of Invaded Plant Communities (2016, background): “The relationship between seed dormancy (here defined as the absence of germination; e.g., Thompson 2000) and persistence is a complex one, because nondormant seeds may persist in the soil for a long time in the absence of suitable germination cues, whereas deeply dormant seeds may persist in the…”
• Survival Strategies of Annual Desert Plants (2002, background): “This is called intermittent germination (Salisbury 1942;Harper 1977; Cavers and Steele 1984; Gutterman 2000d; Murdoch and Ellis 2000; Thompson 2000).”
• Ecological aspects of seed desiccation sensitivity (2003, background): “The short life-spans of drying sensitive seeds coupled with their intolerance of significant levels of desiccation means that they are absent from the persistent soil seed bank (Thompson 2000).”
• Seed size, shape and persistence in dry Mediterranean grass and scrublands (2003, background): “…between persistence and seed weight and shape detected by Leishman and Westoby (1998) may be due to the use of seed dormancy as an indicator of seed persistence, as indicated by other authors (Thompson et al., 2001), when these two concepts are not necessarily related (Thompson, 2000).”
• Seed size and plant strategy across the whole life cycle (2006, background): “…were also excluded, as these data are confounded by losses to post-dispersal seed predation, and might also be subject to a seed-mass-related bias resulting from a relationship between seed mass and a tendency for viable seeds to persist in the soil (Venable and Brown 1988, Thompson 2000).”
• Seed dormancy and the control of germination. (2006, background): “Dormancy should not just be associated with the absence of germination; rather, it is a characteristic of the seed that determines the conditions required for germination (Vleeshouwers et al ., 1995; Thompson, 2000; Fenner & Thompson, 2005).”
