• Do larger frugivores move seeds further? Body size, seed dispersal distance, and a case study of a large, sedentary pigeon (2012, background): “However, trees (including two New Zealand species) are particularly vulnerable to inbreeding depression, with inbred offspring rarely surviving to maturity (Scofield & Schultz, 2006; Robertson et al., 2011).”
• Mutualisms with the wreckage of an avifauna: the status of bird pollination and fruit- dispersal in New Zealand (2010, background): “Seed dispersal and pollination are both also important for gene flow among fragmented populations (Hamilton 1999; Garcia et al. 2007), and trees are particularly vulnerable to inbreeding depression (Scofield & Schultz 2006) which could be avoided by effective pollen and fruit dispersal.”
• The Ecological and Evolutionary Consequences of Clonality for Plant Mating (2010, methodology): “Clonal herbs tend to have low adult inbreeding coefficients and low to high selfing rates, similar to high-! trees and shrubs (Scofield & Schultz 2006), whereas nonclonal herbs show a much wider distribution of values.”
• Some Evolutionary Consequences of Being a Tree (2006, background): “Scofield & Schultz (2006) further predicted that high-stature plants should have progeny with essentially zero fitness when selfed, which is well supported by experimental evidence (e.g., Sorensen 1999).”
• The Ecology of Mating and Its Evolutionary Consequences in Seed Plants (2017, background): “Because plant meristems are totipotent, mitotic mutations preceding a meristem’s switch to reproductive function can be incorporated into gametes descended from it, increasing a plant’s potential to transmit deleterious mutations to offspring as it grows (Scofield & Schultz 2006).”
• Environment‐enhanced self‐fertilization: implications for niche shifts in adjacent populations (2010, background): “…of inbreeding depression in outcrossers typically is much greater than in facultative selfers (Husband & Schemske 1996), and increases from short-lived herbs to long-lived herbs, and then to woody species (Goodwillie, Kalisz & Eckert 2005; Scofield & Schultz 2006; Duminil, Hardy & Petit 2009).”
