The Ecology of Seeds: References (2005, background): “There is some evidence that light wind-dispersed seeds are better dispersed than heavier seeds of similar morphology (e.g. Meyer & Carlson, 2001), although this may not apply to all dispersal modes (Hughes et al., 1994a).”
Testing population differentiation in plant species - how important are environmental maternal effects (2010, background): “Seed mass is supposed to be a measure for maternal provisioning that is correlated with germination percentage and seedling performance (Stanton 1984, Meyer and Carlson 2001).”
Passive external transport of freshwater invertebrates by elephant and other mud-wallowing mammals in an African savannah habitat (2011, background): “…were found for a potential importance of propagule size affecting dispersal ability, although this has been shown to be a limiting factor for passive dispersal in other systems and organisms (Salisbury, 1975; Meyer & Carlson, 2001; Vanschoenwinkel et al., 2009; but see Brochet et al., 2009, 2010a).”
