Management of plant invasions mediated by frugivore interactions (2006, background): “Multispecies dispersal complexes may develop, incorporating native and exotic frugivores and plants; these may facilitate native plant recruitment (Neilan et al. 2006) 4.”
Ecosystem Services Provided by Birds (2008, background): “Seed dispersal by birds is likely to play a key role in restoration and recovery of degraded lands (Duncan 2006; Neilan et al. 2006; Lozada et al. 2007).”
Integrating plant- and animal-based perspectives for more effective restoration of biodiversity (2016, background): “Forest regeneration on former agricultural lands depends on plant–animal interactions (Panel 1; Holl et al. 2012 ): for example, fruit- eating birds and bats can initiate succession by dispersing the seeds of pioneer plant species (Neilan et al. 2006 ).”
Birds as agents of seed dispersal in a human-dominated landscape in southern Costa Rica (2008, background): “…is a limited and skewed assemblage of species available for forest recovery, these species can provide shade and/or fix nitrogen (e.g. Erythrina and Croton spp.) thereby facilitating conditions for native forest species to establish (Nepstad et al., 1996; Montagnini, 2005; Neilan et al., 2006).”
Limited native plant regeneration in novel, exotic-dominated forests on Hawai’i (2008, background): “The emergence of novel forests may also benefit some native species (Lugo, 1992, Lugo et al., 1993, Ewel et al., 1999, Zavaleta et al., 2001, Lugo and Helmer, 2004, Neilan et al., 2006).”
