“…The negative impacts of consumers on their prey (e.g., reduced fitness) can lead to an evolutionary arms race of defense and resistance, whereas positive effects (e.g., dispersal) may select for mutualisms (Ehrlich and Raven, 1964;Howe and Smallwood, 1982;Hererra, 1985;Thompson, 1994) In the case of mast bearing trees, responses to negative impacts (the destruction of seeds) include predator satiation, asynchronous masting, alteration of germination timing, changes in seed size, and chemical defenses (Janzen, 1971;Loehle, 1987;Vander Wall, 2001). The adaptive response by trees to seed predation depends on the number and size of seeds eaten.…”

“…Fecal transport and caching are common modes of dispersal by seed predators (e.g., rodents and jays), each providing the quantity and quality of dispersal typical to many plant/consumer mutualisms (Schupp, 1993;Vander Wall, 2001). Pigeons do not cache seeds for later consumption.…”

“…Fagaceae) produce abundant and highly nutritious seeds, which are an important food source for many forest vertebrates (Jensen and Nielsen, 1986;Ouden et al, 2005). Nuts are also heavy seeds that need biotic agents (animals) to be dispersed, and, thus, have developed certain traits to attract seed-dispersing animals (Vander Wall, 2001). Genetic parentage analysis also revealed that seedling recruitment in nut-producing trees, such as oaks, occurred at long distances from their mother trees (usually over 50 m) as a result of animal seed dispersal (Valbuena-Carabaña et al, 2005).…”

“…Genetic parentage analysis also revealed that seedling recruitment in nut-producing trees, such as oaks, occurred at long distances from their mother trees (usually over 50 m) as a result of animal seed dispersal (Valbuena-Carabaña et al, 2005). However, some other animals (seed predators) will only consume and destroy the seeds, reducing tree reproduction efficiency (Herrera, 2002). vegetation (Vander Wall, 2001;Hulme and Kollmann, 2005;Perea et al, 2011) due to the fact that some habitats are more suitable for certain foragers (Janzen, 1971;Hulme, 1994). Habitat selection may also determine the proximity of certain seed removers to nut sources, which could eventually affect the probability of nut encounter and the speed at which nuts are removed (Perea et al, unpublished results).…”

“…That is, a population of hoarders that has been exposed to superior competitors for a long period of time may have evolved different hoarding patterns from hoarders of the same species that have not been exposed to superior competitors (e.g. Andersson & Krebs, 1978;Brodin, 2010;Dally et al, 2006;Levey, Silva, & Galetti, 2002;Siepielski & Benkman, 2008;Smith & Reichman, 1984;Stapanian & Smith, 1978;Vander Wall, 2001;Vander Wall & Jenkins, 2003).…”
