Reproductive phenology of Melastomataceae species with contrasting reproductive systems: contemporary and historical drivers
(2017-09-01)
Flowering and fruiting are key events in the life history of plants, and both are critical to their reproductive success. Besides the role of evolutionary history, plant reproductive phenology is regulated by abiotic factors ...
Contrasting patterns of fatty acid composition and oil accumulation during fruit growth in several olive varieties and locations in a non-Mediterranean region
(Elsevier Science, 2014-01)
Olive growing has expanded considerably in the last few decades outside of the Mediterranean Basin to non-traditional regions in the Southern Hemisphere. When growing olive genotypes (i.e., varieties) outside of their area ...
A combination of rules govern fruit trait preference by frugivorous bat and bird species: nutrients, defence and size
(Elsevier, 2021-06)
Several hypotheses explain how sensory, anatomical and physiological constraints drive fruit preference in frugivores. Optimal diet theory (ODT) states that frugivores make decisions based on the energy contained in food. ...
Anthropogenic edges, isolation and the flowering time and fruit set of Anadenanthera peregrina, a cerrado savanna tree
(Springer, 2014-05-01)
Fragmentation exposes plants to extreme environmental conditions with implications for species phenology and reproduction. We investigated whether isolation and edge effects influence size, flowering time, fruit set, and ...
Characterizing background heterogeneity in visual communication
(Elsevier B.V., 2014-01-01)
How is a visual signal effectively transmitted through an environment triggering a response by a perceiver? Experimental and theoretical works in disparate fields, such as sexual selection and plant animal interactions, ...

Signal convergence in fruits: a result of selection by frugivores?
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2010-01)
The Dispersal Syndrome hypothesis remains contentious, stating that apparently nonrandom associations of fruit characteristics result from selection by seed dispersers. We examine a key assumption under this hypothesis, ...
