Unlocking fruit dimensions: Quantification of functional traits driving plant–frugivore interactions
Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Fleshy fruits attract animals to ingest fruit, swallow the seeds, and release them in the landscape, thus facilitating seed dispersal and plant regeneration. Attraction of animal dispersers is achieved via attractants such as color or scent, and rewards like sugars, lipids, and micronutrients.

Effects of litters with different concentrations of phenolics on the competition between Calluna vulgaris and Deschampsia flexuosa [PDF]
We hypothesized that the outcome of competition between ericaceous plants and grasses is strongly affected by the concentrations of phenolics in the litter that they produce.

Bottom‐up Strategies for Generating Polymer Protocells That Mimic Cellular Communication
Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.This review focuses on polymeric protocells produced using a bottom‐up approach. Polymer‐based assemblies guarantee stability and designability by adjusting the properties of the amphiphilic copolymers used. The review covers protocell architectures, production, and their intra‐ and intercellular communication mechanisms.

STUDIES ON TANNIN CONTENTS OF LOCALLY AVAILABLE TREE LEAVES COMMONLY FED TO GOATS IN KERALA [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, 2000 Fourteen different locally available tree leaves, commonly fed to goats were analysed for their chemical composition, total tannins, condensed and hydrolysable tannins. The different tree leaves studied are found to be higher in dry matter, crude protein
