The aromatic potential of amazonian fruits
2000The determination of total aglycons released by enzymatic hydrolysis of cupuaçu, bacuri, and acerola glycosidic extracts indicates significant amounts of glycosidically bound volatile components in these fruits. Glucosides and rutinosides were the main glycoconjugates present as indicated by structural analysis of the saccharidic moieties.

Vertebrate responses to fruit production in Amazonian flooded and unflooded forests
Biodiversity and Conservation, 2007We document patterns of fruit and vertebrate abundance within an extensive, virtually undisturbed mosaic of seasonally flooded (varzea and igapo) and unflooded (terra firme) forests of central Amazonia. Using phenological surveys and a standardised series of line-transect censuses we investigate the spatial and temporal patterns of immature and mature ...

Fruit–frugivore interactions in Amazonian seasonally flooded and unflooded forests
Journal of Tropical Ecology, 2014Abstract:Constructing community fruit–frugivore networks has proved challenging in tropical forests to date, particularly in lowland Amazonia, which hosts the most diverse spectrum of frugivorous vertebrates and morphological fruit types worldwide. We assessed data on fruit resource production, frugivore assemblages and corresponding fruit–frugivore ...

Intraspecific Variation in the Fruiting of an Amazonian Timber Tree: Implications for Management
Biotropica, 2009ABSTRACTInformation concerning the fruit production of timber species is important for the assessment of the effects of logging practices and for the improvement of harvesting techniques. We assessed the effects of stem diameter, crown illumination, and liana load on Chrysophyllum lucentifolium subsp.

Fruit and seed dispersal in amazonian floodplain trees - a review
2013More than one thousand tree species grow in Amazonian floodplain forests, an environment which is closely linked to a periodical and predictable flood pulse. All biotic and abiotic modes of dispersal which are known for trees in surrounding ecosystems are also present in the floodplains.
