Seed fate and decision‐making processes in scatter‐hoarding rodents
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 …

Mammalian mycophagy: a global review of ecosystem interactions between mammals and fungi
The consumption of fungi by animals is a significant trophic interaction in most terrestrial
ecosystems, yet the role mammals play in these associations has been incompletely …

[图书][B] Dental functional morphology: how teeth work
PW Lucas - 2004 - books.google.com
Dental Functional Morphology offers an alternative to the received wisdom that teeth merely
crush, cut, shear or grind food and shows how teeth adapt to diet. Providing an analysis of …

Seed mass and mast seeding enhance dispersal by a neotropical scatter‐hoarding rodent
Many tree species that depend on scatter‐hoarding animals for seed dispersal produce
massive crops of large seeds at irregular intervals. Mast seeding and large seed size in …

Seed mass, seedling size and neotropical tree seedling establishment
Summary 1 We examined among‐and within‐species effects of seed mass for seedling
establishment from seed to 5 years of age in a field experiment at Paracou, French Guiana …

Using seed-tagging methods for assessing post-dispersal seed fate in rodent-dispersed trees
Seed tagging is widely used for tracking seeds during dispersal by seed-caching animals.
No studies, however, have fully examined the effects of seed tagging on post-dispersal seed …

Effects of seed size on dispersal distance in five rodent-dispersed fagaceous species
Z Xiao, Z Zhang, Y Wang - Acta Oecologica, 2005 - Elsevier
We studied the effect of seed size on dispersal by comparing dispersal distances in five
rodent-dispersed fagaceous species (Lithocarpus harlandii, Quercus variabilis, Q. serrata …

Seed size, more than nutrient or tannin content, affects seed caching behavior of a common genus of Old World rodents
B Wang, J Chen - Ecology, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Scatter‐hoarding rodents play an important dispersal role for many large‐seeded plants.
Seed traits affect their foraging behavior; however, it is difficult to isolate their effects …

Effects of nitrogen deposition on reproduction in a masting tree: benefits of higher seed production are trumped by negative biotic interactions
Relatively little is known about the effects of anthropogenic environmental changes on
reproductive ecology of trees. Yet, recruitment is a primary determinant of the long‐term …

Differential foraging preferences on seed size by rodents result in higher dispersal success of medium‐sized seeds
Rodent preference for scatter‐hoarding large seeds has been widely considered to favor the
evolution of large seeds. Previous studies supporting this conclusion were primarily based …
