NUTRACEUTICAL VALUE OF EDIBLE FLOWERS UPON COLD STORAGE
Italian Journal of Food Science, 2017 The attraction and quality of edible flowers correlates with their high perishability. Few studies have evaluated whether edible flowers decay faster than they lose their nutraceutical value. In this experiment, ascorbic acid was negatively affected by cold storage in all the edible flowers investigated, whereas phenolic, flavonoid, and anthocyanin ...

Fruit‐quality tradeoffs generate asymmetry in plant reliance on mutualistic frugivores
Oikos, EarlyView.Seed dispersal is a fundamental ecological process influencing the evolution of plant life‐history strategies. In fleshy‐fruited plants dispersed by mutualistic frugivores, variation in fruit traits among closely related species may shape the temporal and spatial dynamics of dispersal events critical to population success.

Cotton facilitates long‐distance seed dispersal by functioning as nest material for birds
Oikos, EarlyView.Cotton (Cossypium) fibres, which grow naturally in bolls around the seeds of cotton plants, have been used for centuries to produce fabric. The presumed natural function of cotton is that these lightweight and fluffy fibres may support wind dispersal of the seeds inside.

Embodied urban design: Fostering nature connectedness for pro‐conservation behaviour
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Those who feel more connected with nature are more likely to act in ways that support biodiversity. How connected people feel with nature depends in part on how meaningfully it figures into their experience of the built environment. Despite an increase in urban greening measures, these approaches often overlook how people perceive, interact ...
