The objective of this work was to establish physical and chemical characterizations of dovyalis hybrid fruits (Dovyalis abyssinica and D. hebecarpa). Samples of 25 fruits were characterized by evaluation of length and ...

Fruit pulp is an important source of nutrients for many bird species. Fruit-eating birds use a variety of strategies to cope with changes in the availability of fruits, exhibiting a remarkable ability to track resources. ...

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 ...

A single Granadilla Fruit or Passion Fruit on a branch. The Passion Fruit is round to oval, yellow at maturity, with a soft to firm, juicy interior filled with numerous seeds. The fruit can be grown to eat or for its juice, ...

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 ...

Fruit production in Barbados has been of a scattered nature, with backyard production being dominant. The main fruits are: Barbados Cherries, Avocadoes, Mangoes, Citrus, Papaya, Breadfruits, Coconuts and Bananas. More ...

In this work we propose a new indicator to classify the best period for longan fruit harvest, based on measurements of its longitudinal and transversal axis during growth. Shape analysis based on area per volume ratio (AN) ...
