Mutualisms with the wreckage of an avifauna: the status of bird pollination and fruit- dispersal in New Zealand (2010, unknown): “…Hay (1989) showed kereru was (then) the only recorded disperser for the five trees with fruits >14 mm diameter: tawa, taraire, karaka, tawapou Planchonella costata, and puriri Vitex lucens; they included Beilschmiedia tawaroa, but it is now considered synonymous with B. tawa (Webb & Simpson 2001).”
The hare, the tortoise and the crocodile: the ecology of angiosperm dominance, conifer persistence and fern filtering (2005, methodology): “Leaf areas were calculated with an ellipse equation based on leaf diameter and width measurements given in Allan (1961), and seed lengths (embryo, endosperm and testa) were obtained from Webb & Simpson (2001).”
Do larger frugivores move seeds further? Body size, seed dispersal distance, and a case study of a large, sedentary pigeon (2012, background): “The dispersal unit of V. lucens (for convenience hereafter referred to as a seed) includes 1–4 seeds enclosed in a woody endocarp (Godley, 1971), which remains intact after ingestion (Webb & Simpson, 2001).”
