2007 journal article

The effect of burial depth on removal of seeds of Phytolacca americana

SOUTHEASTERN NATURALIST, 6(1), 151–158.

By: J. Orrock * & E. Damschen*

TL;DR: It is suggested that burial may play an unappreciated role in the dynamics of these communities by reducing predator-mediated seed limitation in early-successional systems. (via Semantic Scholar)

2006 journal article

Seed predation, not seed dispersal, explains the landscape-level abundance of an early-successional plant

JOURNAL OF ECOLOGY, 94(4), 838–845.

By: J. Orrock *, D. Levey *, B. Danielson* & E. Damschen n

author keywords: microsite limitation; predator limitation; seed addition; seed dispersal; seed limitation
TL;DR: Because predators may generate large‐scale patterns that resemble other forms of limitation and predators may target specific species, predator impacts should be more frequently incorporated into experiments on the role of seed limitation and plant community composition.

2005 journal article

Corridors cause differential seed predation

ECOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS, 15(3), 793–798.

By: J. Orrock * & E. Damschen n

author keywords: connectivity; conservation; corridor; granivory; plant community; seed predation
TL;DR: It is found that, in addition to documented positive effects, corridors also have negative impacts on bird-dispersed plants by affecting seed predation, and that overall predation is a function of the seeds' primary consumer (rodents or arthropods). (via Semantic Scholar)

2005 journal article

Fungi-mediated mortality of seeds of two old-field plant species

JOURNAL OF THE TORREY BOTANICAL SOCIETY, 132(4), 613–617.

By: J. Orrock * & E. Damschen n

author keywords: fungi; Savannah River Site; seed; seedbank; survival
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the antifungal properties of P. americana significantly improved survival of P.'s americana seeds in soil compared to seeds of potential competitors, and this increased survival may promote P. Americana persistence in communities where species without antifundal properties, such as C. fasciculata, also exist. (via Semantic Scholar)

2003 journal article

Spatial heterogeneity, not visitation bias, dominates variation in herbivory

ECOLOGY, 84(8), 2214–2221.

By: K. Bradley*, E. Damschen n, L. Young *, D. Kuefler n, S. Went*, G. Wray*, N. Haddad n, J. Knops *, S. Louda*

author keywords: herbivory; herbivory uncertainty principle; observer effect; plant performance; spatial heterogeneity; visitation effect
TL;DR: It is proposed that future studies of herbivory will gain more by evaluating spatial heterogeneity in interaction outcomes than by quantifying possible experimenter-caused variation. (via Semantic Scholar)

2002 journal article

Corridors affect plants, animals, and their interactions in fragmented landscapes

PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 99(20), 12923–12926.

By: J. Tewksbury  n, D. Levey  n, N. Haddad n, S. Sargent n, J. Orrock  n, A. Weldon n, B. Danielson n, J. Brinkerhoff n, E. Damschen n, P. Townsend n

MeSH headings : Animals; Birds; Butterflies; Conservation of Natural Resources; Ecology; Ecosystem; Environment; Plant Physiological Phenomena; Population Dynamics
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that corridors not only increase the exchange of animals between patches, but also facilitate two key plant–animal interactions: pollination and seed dispersal, and suggested that increased plant and animal movement through corridors will have positive impacts on plant populations and community interactions in fragmented landscapes.
