EARLY EFFECTS OF RODENT GRANIVORY ON EXPERIMENTAL FORB COMMUNITIES
Abstract
Seed predation by rodents had major direct and indirect impacts on experimental plantings of 16 species of herbaceous dicots of the prairie/savanna interface in southwestern Wisconsin. We broadcast seeds in the autumn of 1997 on 18 2 × 2 m plots surrounded by rodent-proof fencing. Experimental treatments included: (1) continuous rodent exclusion, (2) rodent access from December to April, and (3) rodent access from May to November. Highly selective seed predation by meadow voles (Microtus pennsylvanicus) during the winter directly reduced densities of the aggressive, large-seeded composite Silphium integrifolium by 59%. Indirectly, this suppression of Silphium resulted in 24–132% compensatory increases in the abundance of small-seeded species not eaten by voles, and a 33% increase in diversity of plant species as estimated by Simpson's D. Vole herbivory and granivory during the spring and summer had no influence on overall plant abundance or species richness. As these synthetic communities mature, initial winter suppression of Silphium integrifolium and the compensatory response of small-seeded composites and legumes not eaten by voles may foretell a divergence of community succession.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
