Bioaccumulation of selenium-by fruit origin lactic acid bacteria in tropical fermented fruit juices
(Elsevier, 2021-11)
Adequate fruit consumption helps to prevent several chronic age-related diseases. Selenium (Se) is an elemental micronutrient with antioxidant capacity. In general, fruits and Se ingest by humans are below the recommended ...
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. ...
