Between-site differences in the scale of dispersal and gene flow in red oak. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Nut-bearing trees, including oaks (Quercus spp.), are considered to be highly dispersal limited, leading to concerns about their ability to colonize new sites or migrate in response to climate change.

The Dispersal of Acorns by Rooks [PDF]
Nature, 1895 IN peat-mosses, on open chalk downs, and in ploughed fields, often a mile or more from the nearest mature tree, one constantly finds acorn-husks and also seedling oaks, which last a few months or, perhaps, a couple of years, and then die, the conditions being unfavourable.

Pre-dispersal strategies by Quercus schottkyana to mitigate the effects of weevil infestation of acorns [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractWe investigated how pre-dispersal strategies may mitigate the effects of weevil infestation of acorns in a population of Quercus schottkyana, a dominant oak in Asian evergreen broad-leaved forests, and assess if weevil infestation contributes to low seedling recruitment.

Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Bambusoideae is a taxon of mass‐flowering monocarpic perennials with a long life cycle. Forest ecosystems are affected by Bambusoideae seeding and death events in various ways, including an increased abundance of Apodemus spp.

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2014 Different species of forest trees exhibited great diversity in seed features, and rodents might take different tactics to handle and disperse them. In September 2011, to understand the discriminatory handling by rodents on sympatric seeds, seeds of four ...

PLoS ONE, 2012 Trees in the beech or oak family (Fagaceae) have a mutualistic relationship with scatter-hoarding rodents. Rodents obtain nutrients and energy by consuming seeds, while providing seed dispersal for the tree by allowing some cached seeds to germinate ...

Acorns of introduced Quercus rubra are neglected by European Jay but spread by mice
Annals of Forest Research, 2016 Northern Red Oak (Quercus rubra L.; native in North America) is regarded as an invasive species in Central Europe, where it is the most common non-indigenous broad-leafed tree species in forestry.
