Seed survival of the tropical tree cryptocarya aschersoniana (lauraceae): consequences of habitat disturbance
(Wiley Online Library, 2017)
Size-related seed use by rodents on early recruitment of Quercus serrata in a subtropical island forest
(2022-01-01)
Rodents are ubiquitous seed predators in nature and their size-related seed choice plays an important role in the plant's community structure. However, to understand how size-related seed predation by rodents affects plant ...
Seed deposition patterns and the survival of seeds and seedlings of the palm Euterpe edulis
(Elsevier B.V., 2001-07-01)
The seed deposition pattern created by a seed disperser is one of the components of the efficiency of a species as seed disperser, and ultimately may influence the recruitment of a plant species. In this study, we used the ...

Seed size variation in the palm Euterpe edulis and the effects of seed predators on germination and seedling survival
(Elsevier B.V., 2006-05-01)
Intraspecific variation in seed size is common in wild plant populations and has important consequences for the reproductive success of individual plants. Multiple, often conflicting evolutionary forces mediated by biotic ...
Gaps critical for the survival of exposed seeds during Cerrado fires
(2018-01-01)
The fine-scale effects of fire and the consequences for seed survival are poorly understood, especially in the Cerrado (Brazilian savannas). Thus, we investigated whether vegetation gaps (bare soil patches) influence the ...
Polyembryony increases embryo and seedling mortality but also enhances seed individual survival in Handroanthus species (Bignoniaceae)
(Elsevier Gmbh, Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2012-01-01)
Polyembryony seems to be advantageous to mother plants in detriment of their siblings which face competition since the beginning of seed development. This competition may limit the turnover of embryos into seedlings and ...

The development of seedlings from fragments of monoembryonic seeds as an important survival strategy for Eugenia (Myrtaceae) tree species
(Springer, 2012-06-01)
The uncommon ability of monoembryonic seeds of Eugenia to develop seedlings after cutting or even after the removal of more than half of their storage tissue has recently been reported. Some Eugenia species are included ...
