A climate for seed predation: Precipitation affects seed removal by the major groups of granivores differently across boreal, sub-alpine and alpine grasslands
(Master thesis, 2018-12-15)Granivory, the seed predation by animals, plays an important role for plant and animal populations, and impact species composition and functioning of ecosystems. The intensity in granivory depends on various biotic and ... -
Conditions favouring hard seededness as a dispersal and predator escape strategy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-09-16)1. The water-impermeable seed coat of ‘hard’ seeds is commonly considered a dormancy trait. Seed smell is, however, strongly correlated with seed water content, and hard seeds are therefore olfactionally cryptic ... -
The crypsis hypothesis explained: a reply to Jayasuriya et al. (2015)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-08-18)In imbibing seeds, resumption of metabolism leads to the unavoidable release of volatile by-products that are perceived as cues by rodent seed predators. The crypsis hypothesis proposes that the primary function of a ...
