Fruit Traits Reflect Adaptation to Dispersers Along a Tropical Elevational Gradient. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study investigates how fruit traits related to frugivore dispersal—specifically diameter, colour and presentation—vary along an elevation gradient in Papua New Guinea. Results showed that fruit diameter decreases with elevation, bird‐attracting colours are more common at higher elevations, and branch‐borne (ramiflorous) fruits increase with ...

Investigations into stability in the fig/ fig-wasp mutualism [PDF]
, 2010 Fig trees (Ficus, Moraceae) and their pollinating wasps (Chalcidoidea, Agaonidae) are involved in an obligate mutualism where each partner relies on the other in order to reproduce: the pollinating fig wasps are a fig tree’s only pollen disperser ...
