Bird fruit consumption results from the interaction between fruit-handling behaviour and fruit crop size
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-01)
Bird foraging behaviour is a major factor involved in mutualistic interactions of fleshy-fruited plants. Despite much research, we still lack quantified demonstrations of how fruit display traits affect fruit removal ...
Bicolored display of Miconia albicans fruits: Evaluating visual and physiological functions of fruit colors
(Botanical Soc Amer Inc, 2015-09-01)
PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Most bird-dispersed fruits are green when unripe and become colored and conspicuous when ripe, signaling that fruits are ready to be consumed and dispersed. The color pattern for fruits of Miconia ...
Mathematical Modeling in the Estimation of Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) Fruit Volume

Fruit selection by Andean forest birds: influence of fruit functional traits and their temporal variation
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-09)
Fruit selection, i.e., the consumption of fruits disproportionately to their availability, results from the interaction between diet preferences and ecological factors that modify them. We assessed the importance of ...
The effect of changes in visibility and price on fruit purchasing at a university cafeteria in Lima, Peru
(Nutrition Society, 2015)
To determine the effect of increasing fruit visibility, adding information and lowering price on fruit purchasing at a university cafeteria in Lima, Peru.
Selection of thermotolerant Italian tomato cultivars with high fruit yield and nutritional quality for the consumer taste grown under protected cultivation
(2022-01-03)
High temperature is a limiting factor for the production and quality of tomato fruit, especially during the summer in tropical regions, when the cultivation must be carried out in a protected environment due to heavy ...
Does attraction to frugivores or defense against pathogens shape fruit pulp composition?
(Springer, 2008-03-01)
Fruit traits evolve in response to an evolutionary triad between plants, seed dispersers, and antagonists that consume fruits but do not disperse seeds. The defense trade-off hypothesis predicts that the composition of ...
Geographic patterns in fruit colour diversity: do leaves constrain the colour of fleshy fruits?
(Springer, 2009-03-01)
We tested for geographic patterns in fruit colour diversity. Fruit colours are thought to promote detection by seed dispersers. Because seed dispersers differ in their spectral sensitivities, we predicted that fruit colour ...
Consumer interpretation of ready to drink orange juice and nectar labelling
(2013-06-01)
The aim of this study was to evaluate consumers' use and interpretation of ready to drink orange juice and nectar label information and its influence on the purchase decision. One hundred and sixty-seven consumers of ready ...
