Relationship Among Phenolic Contents, Seed Predation, and Physical Seed Traits in Mimosa bimucronata Plants
(Springer, 2009-12-01)
Phenolic contents were compared between Mimosa bimucronata seeds from infested and non-infested fruits to assess induced defense response. By measuring leg length of the bruchid beetle Acanthoscelides schrankiae, we verified ...

Fire and legume germination in a tropical savanna: ecological and historical factors
(2019-07-08)
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: In many flammable ecosystems, physically dormant seeds show dormancy-break patterns tied to fire, but the link between heat shock and germination in the tropical savannas of Africa and South America ...
Do regeneration traits vary according to vegetation structure? A case study for savannas
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020-09-13)
Aim Regeneration traits are crucial for understanding patterns and processes in plant communities. However, regeneration traits are not reported much in community ecology, preventing a better assessment of trait-based ...
Seed germination of Schinus molle L. (Anacardiaceae) as related to its anatomy and dormancy alleviation
(Seed Science Research, 2018)
The effect of seed traits on geographic variation in body size and sexual size dimorphism of the seed-feeding beetle Acanthoscelides macrophthalmus
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016)
Explaining large-scale patterns of variation in body size has been considered a central question in ecology and evolutionary biology because several life-history traits are directly linked to body size. For ectothermic ...
Overcoming lag phase: Do regenerative attributes onset Acacia dealbata spread in a newly invaded system?
(Csiro Publishing, 2019-03)
Ecological theory predicts that the success of exotic plants in new environments depends on a combination of ecological attributes. Requirements for germination and seedling traits are the main components in the regenerative ...
Seed removal by ants from faeces produced by different vertebrate species
(Universite Laval, 2005-01-01)
Ants frequently harvest seeds from faeces of frugivorous vertebrates. By transporting these seeds to nests, ants may influence seed dispersal success of plants. Seed removal by ants from vertebrate faeces is influenced by ...
