Latitude, seed predation and seed mass

Journal of Biogeography, 2003
AbstractAim We set out to test the hypothesis that rates of pre‐ and post‐dispersal seed predation would be higher towards the tropics, across a broad range of species from around the world. We also aimed to quantify the slope and predictive power of the relationship between seed mass and latitude both within and across species.Methods Seed mass, pre ...

Seed dispersal by neotropical seed predators

American Journal of Primatology, 1998
From a plant's perspective, the difference between a seed predator and a seed disperser should be straightforward: attract animals that will disperse seeds and defend seeds from potential predators. Unlike pulp-eating frugivores, seed predators regularly encounter diverse plant protective mechanisms.

SEED PREDATION AND SELECTION EXERTED BY A SEED PREDATOR INFLUENCE SUBALPINE TREE DENSITIES

Ecology, 2008
Strongly interacting species often have pronounced direct and indirect effects on other species. Here we focus of the effects of pine squirrels (Tamiasciurus spp.), which are a dominant pre-dispersal seed predator of many conifers including limber pines (Pinus flexilis) and whitebark pines (P. albicaulis).

Predispersal seed predation in Bartsia alpina

Oecologia, 1989
A northern Swedish population of Bartsia alpina, an arctic-alpine perennial herb, was found to suffer high levels of predispersal seed predation by larvae of two insect species, both specialists on rhinanthoid Scrophulariaceae hosts. The primary predator is Aethes deutschiana (Lepidoptera-Tortricidae), the host of which was previously unknown.

SEED REMOVAL, SEED PREDATION, AND SECONDARY DISPERSAL

Ecology, 2005
Many studies of postdispersal seed fate use seed removal as an index of seed predation. However, following primary seed dispersal, some seeds are transported intact by ants, dung beetles, scatter-hoarding animals, or abiotic processes to new microsites (secondary dispersal) where germination is possible.

Seed predator responses

Oecologia, 1979
An examination of Enterolobium contortisiliquum predispersal seed predation by beetles suggests that simple tests of the importance of seed density or seed distance from the parent tree must be interpretated with caution.

CORRIDORS CAUSE DIFFERENTIAL SEED PREDATION

Ecological Applications, 2005
Corridors that connect disjunct populations are heavily debated in conservation, largely because the effects of corridors have rarely been evaluated by replicated, large‐scale studies. Using large‐scale experimental landscapes, we found that, in addition to documented positive effects, corridors also have negative impacts on bird‐dispersed plants by ...
