The functional response of a hoarding seed predator to mast seeding [PDF]

Ecology, 2010
Mast seeding involves the episodic and synchronous production of large seed crops by perennial plants. The predator satiation hypothesis proposes that mast seeding maximizes seed escape because seed predators consume a decreasing proportion of available seeds with increasing seed production.

EVALUATING THE WIND POLLINATION BENEFITS OF MAST SEEDING

Ecology, 2001
We developed a conceptual model for evaluating the benefits of wind pollination to mast-flowering species. The benefit that a plant population gains from mast flowering via increased wind pollination efficiency was predicted from how far pollination efficiency at mean seed crop size falls below the maximum. Species were most likely to benefit from mast

Mast seeding patterns are asynchronous at a continental scale

Nature Plants, 2020
Resource pulses are rare events with a short duration and high magnitude that drive the dynamics of both plant and animal populations and communities1. Mast seeding is perhaps the most common type of resource pulse that occurs in terrestrial ecosystems2, is characterized by the synchronous and highly variable production of seed crops by a population of

Masting, seed dispersal and seed predation in the cycad Macrozamia communis

Oecologia, 1986
Little is known about the adaptive value of mast seeding, a common phenomenon in temperate trees and shrubs. Masting is likely to affect both seed dispersal and seed predation. In systems where similar taxa of animals are involved in these two processes, the consequences of mast seeding are likely to be particularly complicated. This study examined the

Coevolution of mast seeding in trees and extended diapause of seed predators

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 2013
Many trees in forests show synchronized and intermittent reproduction, which is called "masting" or mast seeding. According to recent theoretical studies, the evolution of masting is promoted both by recruitment through the seedling bank and by seed predators.
