Frugivory and Seed Dispersal

2021
Consumption of fleshy fruits by frugivorous animals, which then disperse the seeds inside, is a key ecological process, particularly in forests. Fruit is an easy food to consume but is nutritionally dilute so specialist frugivores need adaptations for efficient location, harvest, and digestion.

Colour vision as an adaptation to frugivory in primates

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 1996
Most mammals possess two classes of cone, sensitive to short and to long wavelengths of light, but Old World primates (Catarrhini) have distinct medium and long wavelength sensitive classes. The sensitivities of these cones photopigments are alike in all catarrhines with peaks at about 440 nm (‘blue’), 533 nm (‘green’) and 565 nm (‘red’).

Tree Swallow Frugivory in Winter

Southeastern Naturalist, 2015
Abstract - This study assesses, through the first systematic field observations of winter foraging of Tachycineta bicolor (Tree Swallow), whether swallow foraging on the fruits of Morella cerifera (Southern Wax Myrtle) is correlated to air temperature. We observed Tree Swallows in central Florida for 53 days between 3 November 2011 and 14 January 2012.

The global distribution of frugivory in birds

Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2009
ABSTRACTAim  To examine patterns of avian frugivory across clades, geography and environments.Location  Global, including all six major biogeographical realms (Afrotropics, Australasia, Indo‐Malaya, Nearctic, Neotropics and Palaearctic).Methods  First, we examine the taxonomic distribution of avian frugivory within orders and families.
