Size-related seed use by rodents on early recruitment of Quercus serrata in a subtropical island forest
(2022-01-01)
Rodents are ubiquitous seed predators in nature and their size-related seed choice plays an important role in the plant's community structure. However, to understand how size-related seed predation by rodents affects plant ...
Envelhecimento acelerado em sementes de Eucalyptus grandis Hill ex Maiden classificadas por tamanho
(2001-12-01)
Two experiments of seed ageing of Eucalyptus grandis Hill ex Maiden were carried out at laboratory conditions. In the first experiment, two seed lots were classified in two square mesh screens (< 0.84 to ≥ 0.71 mm and < ...

Seed size variation in the palm Euterpe edulis and the effects of seed predators on germination and seedling survival
(Elsevier B.V., 2006-05-01)
Intraspecific variation in seed size is common in wild plant populations and has important consequences for the reproductive success of individual plants. Multiple, often conflicting evolutionary forces mediated by biotic ...
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 ...
Reproductive strategy of Copaifera langsdorffii (Fabaceae): more seeds or better seeds?
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2015)
Comparison of methods to estimate soil seed banks: The role of seed size and mass
(Akadémiai Kiadó, 2012-12-21)
There are two main methods for estimating seed density and species composition of soil seed banks: manual seed extraction and seedling emergence. These methods were used to determine and compare seed density and species ...
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 ...
