• Scatter-hoarding corvids as seed dispersers for oaks and pines: A review of a widely distributed mutualism and its utility to habitat restoration (2016, background): “Other seeds have structures that allow them to adhere to the exterior of their disperser (epizoochory), which tend to be furry or woolly animals (Will and Tackenberg 2008).”
• Seed dispersal by dabbling ducks: an overlooked dispersal pathway for a broad spectrum of plant species (2016, background): “Such seeds may also be dispersed by large grazing mammals (externally on their fur or internally as ‘the foliage is the fruit’; > 198 papers; e.g. Janzen 1984; Will & Tackenberg 2008; Bullock et al. 2011).”
• Seed dispersal distance is more strongly correlated with plant height than with seed mass (2011, background): “Changes in animal vector traits are more important than variation within a particular species for dispersal kernels (Will & Tackenberg 2008), and we predicted that this would extend to cross-species relationships.”
• Chasing the unknown: predicting seed dispersal mechanisms from plant traits (2010, background): “Attachment and ingestion can produce different patterns and distances, with the type of animal vector causing the largest variation in dispersal patterns (Will & Tackenberg 2008).”
• Integrating species distribution models and interacting particle systems to predict the spread of an invasive alien plant (2010, background): “More mechanistic approaches to dispersal kernel parameterization (e.g. Katul et al., 2005; Will & Tackenberg, 2008) may help to provide more generally valid estimates, or to modify estimates according to available information on spatial or temporal variation of dispersal vector properties (e.g. von…”
