Using artificial fruits to evaluate fruit selection by birds in the field
(Assoc Tropical Biology IncLawrenceEUA, 2001)
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 ...
Fallen fruits stimulate decomposition of leaf litter of dominant species in NW Patagonia shrublands
(Springer, 2018-04)
Background and aims: Leaf-litter decomposition rate (kL) regulates nutrient dynamics and is affected at microsite level by species traits, soil biota and microclimate conditions. Fallen fruits form part of the litter and ...
Cooling and Freezing of Fruits and Fruit Products
(Springer, 2018)
The use of low temperatures is an important factor for maintaining postharvest quality of fruits and greatly influences the rate of deterioration. The objective of cooling is to prolong the commercial life of perishable ...
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 ...

Pruning severity affects yield, fruit load and fruit and leaf traits of ‘Brigitta’ blueberry
(Sociedad Chilena de Ciencia Suelo, 2014)
Pruning is crucial to balance productivity and fruit quality in blueberry orchards. Slight, conventional and severe
pruning treatments were applied on 4- and 5-year old bluberry plants cultivar ‘Brigitta’ to evaluate their ...
Fruit, yield, and vegetative growth responses to photosynthetically active radiation during oil synthesis in olive trees
(Elsevier Science, 2013-02)
Maximizing productivity in super high density and intensive olive orchards requires proper management of illumination of the canopy walls and their interior. Currently, this is difficult to achieve due to the limited ...
Effect of source/sink ratio on leaf and fruit traits of blueberry fruiting canes in the field
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2018)
Preference and infestation level of Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann, 1830) on fruits of some Psidium guajava L. cultivars and relation to their physicochemical parameters
(Springer, 2014-09-01)
This study aimed to verify the preference and infestation level of Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) [South American fruit fly] in fruits of guava cultivars and to correlate them to variables such as peel ...
