Natural Regeneration in Plantations of Native Trees in Lowland Brazilian Atlantic Forest: Community Structure, Diversity, and Dispersal Syndromes (2011, background): “The density of zoochorous species, as well as the availability of fruit, may affect seed rain and seedling recruitment in a plant community (Nathan & Muller-Landau 2000; Slocum & Horvitz 2000).”
The role of remnant trees in seed dispersal through the matrix: Being alone is not always so sad (2009, background): “As a consequence, high-density clumps of seeds defecated or regurgitated by frugivores are typical under remnant trees (Guevara and Laborde, 1993; Holl, 1998; Galindo-Gonza ´ lez et al., 2000; Slocum and Horvitz, 2000; Pausas et al., 2006).”
Birds as agents of seed dispersal in a human-dominated landscape in southern Costa Rica (2008, background): “…studies, however, have shown that isolated trees or living fences, which are common in the humid tropics of Central America (Guevara et al., 1986; Slocum and Horvitz, 2000), can increase seed rain by serving as bird perches (Vieira et al., 1994; Shiels and Walker, 2003) and enhance seedling…”
Patterns of Seed Dispersal and Dispersal Failure in a Hawaiian Dry Forest Having Only Introduced Birds (2010, unknown): “…further increase seed rain amounts observed, as other studies have documented higher bird-dispersed seed rain under fruiting vs. non-fruiting trees (Slocum & Horvitz 2000, Clark et al. 2004); however, the bird-dispersed seed rain under dead trees did not differ from any living fleshy-fruited tree…”
Tropical forest recovery: legacies of human impact and natural disturbances (2003, background): “Shrubs and trees in pastures and abandoned fields attract birds that deposit or regurgitate seeds while perched (Guevara et al. 1986; Viera et al. 1994; Galindo-Gonzalez et al. 2000; Slocum & Horvitz 2000).”
Principles of Natural Regeneration of Tropical Dry Forests for Restoration (2006, background): “On the other hand, trees or shrubs present in abandoned agricultural areas provide perches for birds and bats, increasing the number of vertebrate-dispersed seeds up to one hundred times relative to open areas (Willson & Crome 1989; da Silva et al. 1996; Nepstad et al. 1996; Slocum & Horvitz 2000).”
Role of nurse plants in Araucaria Forest expansion over grassland in south Brazil (2006, background): “Many authors have pointed out the importance of nurse plants in tree species colonization of open habitats (Guevara et al. 1992; Callaway 1995; Slocum & Horwitz 2000; Slocum 2001; Holl 2002; Scarano 2002).”
Changes in the plant community of a Brazilian grassland savannah after 22 years of invasion by Pinus elliottii Engelm (2011, background): “2010 ) causes invaders to stand out in the landscape and begin to function as isolated trees (Scolum and Horvitz 2004 ), thereby becoming attractive to animals that are potential dispersers of native seeds.”
Facilitation in multiple life-history stages: evidence for nucleated succession in coastal dunes (2003, background): “Yarranton and Morrison’s (1974) concluded that succession on the Grand Bend dunes fit the nucleation model based on finding a clumped distribution of plants, seedlings of persistent species under the earlier successional Juniperus virginiana trees, and soils higher in nutrients under Juniperus virgi”
Ecosystem Services Provided by Birds (2008, background): “…al. 1996; Holl 2002; Lozada et al. 2007), remnant trees (Guevara & Laborde 1993; Debussche & Isenmann 1994; da Silva et al. 1996; Toh et al. 1999; Slocum & Horvitz 2000; Slocum 2001; Martinez-Garza & Gonzalez-Montagut 2002 ;Pausas et al. 2006; Zahwai & Augspurger 2006), and fences, wires, or…”
COMMUNITY AND PHYLOGENETIC STRUCTURE OF REPRODUCTIVE TRAITS OF WOODY SPECIES IN WET TROPICAL FORESTS (2003, background): “In a study of seed arrival in a Neotropical pasture in northeastern Costa Rica, Slocum and Horvitz (2000) found that animal-dispersed seeds August 2003 345REPRODUCTIVE TRAITS OF WOODY SPECIES were far more abundant than wind- or explosively dispersed seeds.”
Barriers to forest regeneration of deforested and abandoned land in Panama (2005, background): “Duncan & Duncan (2000) and Slocum & Horvitz (2000) similarly found no relationship of distance from the forest with the density of natural regeneration in degraded areas containing remnant vegetation.”
