Crop size is more important than neighborhood fruit availability for fruit removal of Eugenia uniflora (Myrtaceae) by bird seed dispersers
(Springer, 2011-05)
For a plant with bird-dispersed seeds, the effectiveness of seed dispersal can change with fruit availability at scales ranging from individual plants to neighborhoods, and the scale at which frugivory patterns emerge may ...
Individual crop size increases predispersal predation by beetles in a tropical palm
(2020-01-01)
Predispersal seed predation is one of the main causes of seed mortality in plant populations, contributing to decreased plant recruitment. Seed loss has previously been found to be related to crop size. Thus, we examined ...
Intentional and unintentional selection during plant domestication: herbivore damage, plant defensive traits and nutritional quality of fruit and seed crops
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-05)
Greater susceptibility to herbivory can arise as an effect of crop domestication. One proposed explanation is that defenses decreased intentionally or unintentionally during the domestication process, but evidence for this ...
Macronutrient contents of eggplant seeds with different ages and postharvest resting times
(2020-01-01)
The seed nutritional status is of essential importance to seed storage capacity and vigor, especially for horticultural crops, such as the eggplant. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the macronutrient contents in eggplant ...

The seed nutritional status is of essential importance to seed storage capacity and vigor, especially for horticultural crops, such as the eggplant. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the macronutrient contents in eggplant ...
Impacts of honeybee density on crop yield: A meta-analysis
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-02-03)
1. There is increasing recognition that pollination deficits are limiting crop yields world-wide. However, management strategies for optimal insect pollination are still unclear for most crops. Current management focuses ...
Crop size, plant aggregation, and microhabitat type affect fruit removal by birds from individual melastome plants in the Upper Amazon
(Springer, 2008-12)
We studied the efficiency (proportion of the crop removed) and quantitative effectiveness (number of fruits removed) of dispersal of Miconia fosteri and M. serrulata (Melastomataceae) seeds by birds in lowland tropical wet ...
