From which Ocotea diospyrifolia trees does Alouatta caraya (Primates, Atelidae) eat fruits?
(Cambridge University Press, 2012-07)
Ecological and morphological traits of fruiting trees, such as spatial distribution (Levey et al. 1984), crop size (Howe & vande Kerckhove 1981, Korine et al. 2000, Leighton 1993, Murray 1987), local availability of fruit ...
Hyperdominance in fruit production in the Brazilian Atlantic rain forest: the functional role of plants in sustaining frugivores
(2017-01-01)
The availability of fruits is critical for tropical forests, where the majority of plant species rely upon animal vectors for seed dispersal. However, we do not know how fruit production is temporally distributed over ...
Vertebrate dispersal syndromes along the Atlantic forest: broad-scale patterns and macroecological correlates
(Blackwell Publishing, 2008-07-01)
Aim To assess the geographical variation in the relative importance of vertebrates, and more specifically of birds and mammals, as seed dispersal agents in forest communities, and to evaluate the influence of geographical ...

Optimal operating conditions for an optical ring sensor system to size fruits and vegetables
(American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, 2005)
This work reports on the determination of the optimal operating conditions for an optical ring sensor system as a first step in its use for fruits and vegetable sizing. The system was comprised of a singulator which fed ...
Reduction of apple tree height (Malus domestica Borkh) cv. Ultra Red Gala/MM111 does not decrease fruit yield and quality
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, PO BOX 211, 2012)
Preferential consumption of larger fruits of Piper arboreum (Piperaceae) by Carollia perspicillata (Phyllostomidae) in the Brazilian tropical dry forest
(Univ Federal Uberlandia, 2015-03-01)
Frugivorous animals may use morphological traits of food items such as size, hardness, shape, color and smell as cues that allow them to assess cost-benefit relationship of foraging activity. Fruit size is an important ...
