Impacts of insect herbivory on cactus population dynamics: experimental demography across an environmental gradient (2009, background): “We assumed that all consumed seeds are destroyed, but it is likely that some seeds survive vertebrate gut passage with equal or perhaps greater germination probabilities as seeds that escape predation (Rojas-Arechiga and Vazquez-Yanes 2000).”
Physiological ecology of seed germination for the columnar cactus Stenocereus queretaroensis (2003, background): “The temperature optimum for seed germination of cacti is usually approximately 251C (Nobel, 1988; Rojas-Aréchiga & Vázquez-Yanes, 2000), ranging from 151C for the columnar cactus Oreocereus trolii (Zimmer, 1969a) to 331C for Pereskia aculeata (Dau & Labouriau, 1974), a primitive leaf-bearing…”
Effect of light on germination of seeds of Cactaceae from the Chihuahuan Desert, Mexico (2006, background): “Light is one of the most important environmental signals in response to which seed germination is regulated (Gutterman, 1993; Rojas-Aréchiga et al., 1997; Rojas-Aréchiga and Vázquez-Yanes, 2000).”
