Utilization of Sasa borealis seeds by Japanese field mouse: discovery of small-seed caching

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Bambusoideae are well-known for their large-scale flowering, seeding, and death events that occur after a vegetative phase that can often last for decades. These events are a valuable resource for many animals.

An Agronomic Approach to Pine Nut Production by Grafting Stone Pine on Two Rootstocks

Agriculture, 2021
Stone pine (Pinus pinea) grows in natural stands within the Mediterranean basin and its nut is highly appreciated for its nutritional profile. Nevertheless, a decline in this species due to biotic and abiotic damages is currently being clearly observed ...

Brood size in an uncertain world

Royal Society Open Science, 2023
Reproduction in an uncertain world is fraught. The consequences of investing in too many offspring in a resource poor season can be disastrous but so too is missing the opportunity of a resource rich year.

How much do field mice prefer dwarf bamboo seeds? Two‐choice experiments between seeds of Sasa borealis and several tree species on the forest floor

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.

Masting is uncommon in trees that depend on mutualist dispersers in the context of global climate and fertility gradients [PDF]

, 2023
The benefits of masting (volatile, quasi-synchronous seed production at lagged intervals) include satiation of seed predators, but these benefits come with a cost to mutualist pollen and seed dispersers.

The CV is dead, long live the CV!

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Biology has an increasing need to reconsider the tools used to assess the variability of measurements, in addition to their central tendency. More than 100 years after Pearson's publication, most biologists still use the “good old” Pearson's coefficient ...

Six masting-predation scenarios.

, 2012
The top three rows list the scenarios in which seed predation is lower in masting years. These first three rows are ordered by decreasing masting frequency.

Evolutionary ecology of masting: mechanisms, models, and climate change [PDF]

Many perennial plants show mast seeding, characterized by synchronous and highly variable reproduction across years. We propose a general model of masting, integrating proximate factors (environmental variation, weather cues, and resource budgets) with ...

Global patterns in the predator satiation effect of masting: A meta-analysis

, 2022
Predator satiation is the most commonly tested hypothesis that explains the evolutionary advantages of masting. It proposes that masting benefits plant reproduction by reducing the proportion of seed crop that is consumed by predators. This hypothesis is
