▪ Abstract In this review, we discuss the ecological and evolutionary consequences of plant-
herbivore interactions in tropical forests. We note first that herbivory rates are higher in …

▪ Abstract For many years biologists have debated whether mast seeding (the synchronous
intermittent production of large seed crops in perennial plants) results from weather …

This book is about the regeneration of plants from seed under field conditions. It attempts to
give a reasonably balanced overview of the many aspects of this broad topic. The first …

Synzoochory is the dispersal of seeds by seed-caching animals. The animal partner in this
interaction plays a dual role, acting both as seed disperser and seed predator. We propose …

The tidal coastline presents a fascinating ecological world. Rocky shores with their recurrent
zonation of algae and sessile invertebrates demonstrate the orderliness of nature …

ABSTRACT A mechanistic understanding of seed movement and survival is important both
for the development of theoretical models of plant population dynamics, spatial spread, and …

As a partial explanation for the maintenance of high tree diversity in wet tropical forests,
Janzen (1970) and Connell (1971) independently hypothesized that natural enemies act to …

A variety of nut-producing plants have mutualistic seed-dispersal interactions with animals
(rodents and corvids) that scatter hoard their nuts in the soil. The goals of this review are to …

The recruitment of Phillyrea latifolia L.(Oleaceae), a bird—dispersed tree of Mediterranean
forest, is described. Fruit removal by birds, seed rain, post—dispersal seed predation, seed …
