Facilitation of Quercus ilex recruitment by shrubs in Mediterranean open woodlands (2008, background): “…by rodents as acorn loss because cache relocation to the few safe sites avail- able is very unlikely and we did not observe any other emerging seedlings besides our artificial caches (but see Jansen et al. (2004) and Lu & Zhang (2004) for examples of cache relocation by rodents in other systems).”
Dispersal, demography and spatial population models for conservation and control management (2008, background): “It is also possible that scatter hoarding animals disperse individual seeds 34 several times (Jansen et al., 2004).”
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): “…(\200 g) to peccaries more than 30 kg. Mammals are also reckoned as relevant seed dispersers in neotropical forests, especially large body-sized species, such as agoutis, pacas, and tapirs (Forget 1994, Fragoso et al. 2003; Pimentel and Tabarelli 2004; Jansen et al. 2004; Guimarães et al. 2005).”
Effects of mast seeding and rodent abundance on seed predation and dispersal by rodents in Prunus armeniaca (Rosaceae) (2007, background): “Mast seeding may enhance effective seed dispersal by scatterhoarding animals (Jansen et al., 2004).”
Effects of seed size on dispersal distance in five rodent-dispersed fagaceous species (2005, background): “High rates of primary caching are usually followed by high rates of cache recovery and re-caching (Jansen et al., 2004).”
Plant Parentage, Pollination, and Dispersal: How DNA Microsatellites Have Altered the Landscape (2010, background): “Many studies have tagged seeds to track their path from source to destination, and ecologists have been ingenious in devising tagging methods, attaching threads (Forget, 1992; Jansen et al., 2004; Wenny, 2000), wire tin tags (Li and Zhang, 2003, 2007), or magnets (Alverson and Diaz, 1989; Sork, 1984”
How plants manipulate the scatter-hoarding behaviour of seed-dispersing animals (2010, background): “This syndrome is exhibited by numerous species of trees (Darley-Hill & Johnson 1981; Sork 1983; Jansen et al. 2004; Xiao et al. 2005Ò; Vander Wall 2008), shrubs (Vander Wall 1994Ò; Roth & Vander Wall 2005) and even a few grasses and forbs (Longland et al 2001; Borchert 2004).”
Scatter hoarding by the Central American agouti: a test of optimal cache spacing theory (2009, neutral): “Jansen et al. (2004) argued that cache density in caviomorph rodents is simply a by-product of dispersal distance; nondirectionally carrying seeds away from the food source automatically lowers cache densities.”
The Role of Mammals in Creating and Modifying Seedshadows in Tropical Forests and Some Possible Consequences of Their Elimination (2007, background): “…to seed survival when one of the following occurs: (1) the rodent forgets the location of a cache, (2) the rodent has a superabundance of seeds in several caches, and thus does not return to all of them, or (3) the rodent suffers mortality and fails to return to a cache (Jansen et al. 2004).”
