Bushmeat and the Fate of Trees with Seeds Dispersed by Large Primates in a Lowland Rain Forest in Western Amazonia (2007, background): “In tropical forests where hunting depleted most of the frugivorous primates, seed removal and dispersal of dependent trees is reduced (Beckman & Muller-Landau 2007, Wang et al. 2007).”
Spatial Scales of Pollen and Seed-Mediated Gene Flow in Tropical Rain Forest Trees (2008, background): “However, this may not apply to tropical trees species that are highly dependent on animals for all aspects of their reproduction and regeneration [97, 127].”
Bushmeat Hunting Alters Recruitment of Large‐seeded Plant Species in Central Africa (2010, methodology): “…the Ngotto Forest is an overall reduction of seed–seedling predation associated with a reduction in seed shadow among animaldispersed plants with large seeds, as observed elsewhere for Balanites wilsoniana (Chapman et al. 1992, Babweteera et al. 2007) and Antrocaryon klaineanum (Wang et al. 2007).”
Predicting the Long‐Term Effects of Hunting on Plant Species Composition and Diversity in Tropical Forests (2007, background): “In general, the balance of these factors tends to produce negative density dependence or negative feedbacks, increasing species’ reproductive rates as they become rarer and decreasing them as they become commoner (Webb & Peart 1999).”
Emptying the Forest: Hunting and the Extirpation of Wildlife from Tropical Nature Reserves (2011, background): “…many of the slower-growing canopy trees, is often inhibited relative to that of plants with smaller or abiotically dispersed seeds (McConkey and Drake 2006, Nuñez-Iturri and Howe 2007, Wang et al. 2007, Terborgh et al. 2008, Brodie et al. 2009, Holbrook and Loiselle 2009, Sethi and Howe 2009).”
Cascading extinctions as a hidden driver of insect decline (2020, background): “For example, the extinction of larger vertebrates on islands poses a problem to seed dispersal and offspring recruitment for larger trees (Wang et al., 2007).”
The Role of Mammals in Creating and Modifying Seedshadows in Tropical Forests and Some Possible Consequences of Their Elimination (2007, background): “Nevertheless, novel tracking techniques using genetic information promise new insights into the knowledge of this phenomenon (Godoy & Jordano 2001, Grivet et al. 2005, Wang et al. 2007).”
