PREDISPERSAL SEED PREDATION OF CANADA THISTLE

The Canadian Entomologist, 1985
AbstractPredispersal seed predation of Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop. (Asteraceae) by Orellia ruficauda (Fabr.) (Diptera: Tephritidae) occurs in about 20–85% of the seed heads and the proportion of damaged seeds per attacked head averages 20–80% depending on geographical location and sampling date.

Seed predation in the legume Crotalaria

Oecologia, 1978
Correlates of individual plant escape from seed predation were investigated for an East African population of the shrub Crotalaria pallida (Papilionaceae) in which seed mortality due to chewing insects is high and varies among neighboring individuals.

Competition, seed predation, and species coexistence

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1989
In 1970 Janzen proposed that species-specific seed predation, by eliminating establishment of seedlings near adult trees of the same species, should lead to a regular dispersion of trees and to increased species diversity in tropical forests. Seed predation would lead to increased species diversity by setting upper bounds to the densities of individual

Frequency-Dependent Selection by Seed-Predators

Oikos, 1985
This paper is concerned with selection of seeds by animals that search for and respond to seeds as individual items. It also considers mutualistic frugivory. Techniques and results of studies of frequency-dependent selection of food are discussed. Frequency-dependent selection may be constant in direction, only its strength varying with the frequencies
