The relationships between rodents and oak species are affected by a multitude of factors. Therefore, we have researched each pair of species separately, as each relationship has peculiarities that define it and make it different from others. We began by considering the rodent-acorn relationship to be simply predation.

Ecosphere, 2019 The co‐existence of evergreen and deciduous oaks in Mediterranean‐climate savannas has motivated comparative studies on species’ physiological adaptations to light and drought, establishment niche differences in acorn production, dispersal and seedling ...

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.The ecological niche concept is fundamental to understanding species distributions but often overlooks the demographic processes shaping said distributions. Conversely, demographic theory has traditionally neglected how vital rates vary and covary across environments, limiting our understanding of population dynamics across species' ranges.

Seed dispersal by brown bears promotes trophic facilitation in a human‐dominated landscape
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Seed dispersal is a key ecological process with wide‐ranging implications for plant population dynamics, forest regeneration, and biodiversity maintenance. The role of carnivores and omnivores as endozoochorous dispersers is increasingly acknowledged.

Data from: Context-dependent seed dispersal by a scatter-hoarding corvid
, 2016 1. Corvids (crows, jays, magpies and nutcrackers) are important dispersers of large-seeded plants. Studies on captive or supplemented birds suggest that they flexibly adjust their scatter-hoarding behaviour to the context of social dynamics and relative ...

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Understanding demographic and ecological mechanisms underlying population dynamics is a key goal in population ecology and can inform effective conservation and management. Species may be well adapted to persist under normal ranges of environmental conditions, but increasingly novel conditions due to climate change may strain their demographic

Spatial dynamics in the absence of dispersal: acorn production by oaks in central coastal California
Ecography, 1999 We examined spatial patterns and spatial autocorrelation (synchrony) of annual acorn production in three species of oaks (genus Quercus) over a 288 km transect in central coastal California. Over small (within-site) distances of < 4 km, synchrony of acorn production between individual trees was significant but varied through time and, for coast live ...

, 2016 In communities of large-seeded tree species, generalist seed hoarders often link the temporally variable dynamics of various species in ways that can result in indirect ecological interactions. A special case of such interactions is ‘apparent predation’ –

Predator odor can reduce acorn removal by granivorous rodents in mixed oak forest stands [PDF]
, 2023 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 large and highly attractive seeds such as acorns, most seeds will ...
