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 ...

Effects of fruiting spur thinning on fruit quality and vegetative growth of sweet cherry (Prunus avium)

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 ...
The effect of spatial context and plant characteristics on fruit removal
(Elsevier Masson, 2017-07-01)
Attracting frugivores for fruit removal is a crucial step in the reproductive success of those plants that depend on animals for seed dispersal. This mutualism involves many plant extrinsic and intrinsic factors that affect ...
Crop size, plant aggregation, and microhabitat type affect fruit removal by birds from individual melastome plants in the Upper Amazon
(Springer, 2008-12)
We studied the efficiency (proportion of the crop removed) and quantitative effectiveness (number of fruits removed) of dispersal of Miconia fosteri and M. serrulata (Melastomataceae) seeds by birds in lowland tropical wet ...
Effects of forest fragmentation, anthropogenic edges and fruit colour on the consumption of ornithocoric fruits
(Elsevier B.V., 2003-06-01)
We investigated effects of fruit colour (red, black or white), habitat (anthropogenic edges and forest interior) and fragment size on the removal of artificial fruits in semideciduous forests in south-east Brazil. Eight ...
