TL;DR: If hoarders perceive less sheltered, high-light conditions to be more risky and use this information to protect their caches, then shade-intolerant plants may increase their fitness by producing seeds with traits valued by hoarders, and shade tolerance in scatter-hoarded tree species is inversely related to the value of their seeds as perceived by a scatter- Hoarding rodent.

TL;DR: MASTREE+ as mentioned in this paper is a dataset of 73,828 georeferenced observations of annual reproduction (e.g., seed and fruit counts) in perennial plant populations worldwide.

TL;DR: Gray squirrels appear to engage in extensive re-caching during periods of long-term food storage, which has important implications for understanding how caching behavior influences acorn dispersal and oak regeneration.

TL;DR: In this article , a global synthesis of raw seedproduction data shows a 250-fold increase in seed abundance from cold-dry to warm-wet climates, driven primarily by a 100fold increase of seed production for a given tree size.

TL;DR: The results further confirm that rodents distinguish infested seeds from non-infested seeds but demonstrate that this behavior varies with conditions (i.e. environment and food abundance).
