Effects of temperature gradient on functional fruit traits: an elevation-for-temperature approach
L Gómez-Devia, O Nevo - BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2024 - Springer
Fruit traits mediate animal-plant interactions and have to a large degree evolved to match
the sensory capacities and morphology of their respective dispersers. At the same time, fruit …

What drives seed dispersal effectiveness?
Seed dispersal is a critical phase in plant reproduction and forest regeneration. In many
systems, the vast majority of woody species rely on seed dispersal by fruit‐eating animals …

The illusiveness of seed dispersal syndromes. A commentary on: Fleshy fruit traits and seed dispersers: which traits define syndromes?
The dispersal syndrome hypothesis (DHS) posits that the mutualism between fruiting plants
and the animals that consume them and disperse their seeds has resulted in suites of fruit …

Variation in ripe fruit hardness: a mechanical constraint?
Fleshy fruits have evolved to be attractive to frugivorous seed dispersers. As a result, many
fruit traits like size, color, scent and nutritional content are assumed to be the result of …

Frugivory and seed dispersal
RT Corlett - Plant-animal interactions: Source of biodiversity, 2021 - Springer
Consumption of fleshy fruits by frugivorous animals, which then disperse the seeds inside, is
a key ecological process, particularly in forests. Fruit is an easy food to consume but is …

Something to sink your teeth into: the mechanics of tooth indentation in frugivorous fishes
Frugivorous vertebrates engage in a mutualism with fruiting plants: the former receive a
nutrient subsidy and the latter benefit by having their seeds distributed far from parent plants …
