Mechanisms and ecological consequences of plant defence induction and suppression in herbivore communities
Background Plants are hotbeds for parasites such as arthropod herbivores, which acquire
nutrients and energy from their hosts in order to grow and reproduce. Hence plants are …

The dispersal syndrome hypothesis: how animals shaped fruit traits, and how they did not
Fleshy fruits have evolved multiple times and display a tremendous diversity of colours,
shapes, aromas and textures. For over a century this was attributed, at least in part, to …

Fruit aromas in mature fleshy fruits as signals of readiness for predation and seed dispersal
A Rodríguez, B Alquézar, L Peña - New Phytologist, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
The dispersal of seeds away from parent plants seems to be the underlying selective force in
the evolution of fleshy fruits attractive to animals. Secondary metabolites, which are not …
