The ecological significance of toxic nectar

LS Adler - Oikos, 2000 - Wiley Online Library
Although plant‐herbivore and plant‐pollinator interactions have traditionally been studied
separately, many traits are simultaneously under selection by both herbivores and …

Patterns of mutualistic interactions in pollination and seed dispersal: connectance, dependence asymmetries, and coevolution

P Jordano - The American Naturalist, 1987 - journals.uchicago.edu
Patterns of connectance and strength of mutual dependence in mutualisms have been
examined by comparing the fraction of possible pairwise interactions established in a series …

Plant sensing and communication

R Karban - Plant sensing and communication, 2015 - degruyter.com
The news that a flowering weed—mousear cress (Arabidopsis thaliana)—can sense the
particular chewing noise of its most common caterpillar predator and adjust its chemical …

Fruit‐size, gape width, and the diets of fruit‐eating birds

NT Wheelwright - Ecology, 1985 - Wiley Online Library
In most animals, especially those that must swallow food items whole, prey size is related to
predator size. This paper examines gape limitation and the influence of fruit size on diet in …

Is the bitter rejection response always adaptive?

JI Glendinning - Physiology & behavior, 1994 - Elsevier
The bitter rejection response consists of a suite of withdrawal reflexes and negative affective
responses. It is generally assumed to have evolved as a way to facilitate avoidance of foods …

Fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) host status determination: critical conceptual, methodological, and regulatory considerations

M Aluja, RL Mangan - Annu. Rev. Entomol., 2008 - annualreviews.org
Although fruit fly host status determination/designation lies at the heart of strategic decisions
on national and international trade of fruit and vegetables, all attempts thus far to define host …

The dispersal syndrome hypothesis: how animals shaped fruit traits, and how they did not

K Valenta, O Nevo - Functional Ecology, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Neotropical avian frugivores: patterns of behavior, morphology, and nutrition, with consequences for fruit selection

TC Moermond, JS Denslow - Ornithological Monographs, 1985 - JSTOR
A large number of neotropical bird species in many families reg-ularly eat fruit. We discuss
the physiological, morphological, and behavioral adaptations associated with eating fruits …

Secondary metabolites of fleshy vertebrate-dispersed fruits: adaptive hypotheses and implications for seed dispersal

ML Cipollini, DJ Levey - The American Naturalist, 1997 - journals.uchicago.edu
We discuss seven hypotheses to explain the adaptive significance of secondary metabolites
in ripe fleshy fruits and their implications for seed dispersal. These hypotheses are the …
