Synzoochory: the ecological and evolutionary relevance of a dual interaction
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 …

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 …

A seed dispersal effectiveness framework across the mutualism–antagonism continuum
Many angiosperms rely on vertebrates for seed dispersal via gut passage, an interaction that
has been traditionally classified as a mutualism. The seed dispersal effectiveness (SDE) …

[HTML][HTML] A global review on the role of small rodents and lagomorphs (clade Glires) in seed dispersal and plant establishment
Zoochory is an ecologically and evolutionarily important seed dispersal type. The decline
and extinction of seed-dispersing large herbivores severely threatens dispersal-driven …

Seeing the oakscape beyond the forest: a landscape approach to the oak regeneration in Europe
A Bobiec, A Reif, K Öllerer - Landscape Ecology, 2018 - Springer
Context Intensification and specialisation of agriculture and forest use has led to profound
structural and compositional changes in European landscapes. In particular, sharp, narrow …

Animal personalities and seed dispersal: a conceptual review
Consistent individual tendencies in behaviour, or behavioural types, are likely to impact the
dynamics and outcomes of animal‐mediated seed dispersal. We review the extant literature …

Moonlight and shelter cause differential seed selection and removal by rodents
Various environmental factors may influence the foraging behaviour of seed dispersers
which could ultimately affect the seed dispersal process. We examined whether moonlight …

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 …

[HTML][HTML] EuDiS-A comprehensive database of the seed dispersal syndromes of the European flora
Background Seed dispersal is a critical process in plant colonisation and demography.

[HTML][HTML] Predator odor can reduce acorn removal by granivorous rodents in mixed oak forest stands
Developing better practices for rodent pest control is of high importance to reduce damage
during forest restoration and in crop production. For example, during direct seeding with …
