Linking the hierarchical decisionmaking process of fruit choice and the phenotypic selection strength on fruit traits by birds
(Oxford University Press, 2017-08)
Aims: Animals in search of fleshy fruits forage mostly according to the number of available fruits and then select individual fruits based on reward quality or advertised subtle traits. This hierarchical pattern of fruit ...
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 ...

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 ...
Effects of forest fragmentation, anthropogenic edges and fruit colour on the consumption of ornithocoric fruits
(Elsevier Sci LtdOxfordInglaterra, 2003)
Fine-tuning the fruit-tracking hypothesis: Spatiotemporal links between fruit availability and fruit consumption by birds in Andean mountain forests
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2012-11)
1. The fruit-tracking hypothesis predicts spatiotemporal links between changes in the abundance of fruit-eating birds and the abundance of their fleshy-fruit resources. 2. While the spatial scale of plant-frugivore ...

Phenology of Atlantic rain forest trees: A comparative study
(2001-01-01)
This paper describes the phenology of leaf, flower, and fruit phenology in the Atlantic rain forests of southeastern Brazil. For 17 months, we observed the phenological patterns of trees from two Atlantic forest types at ...
