The morphological and ecological variation of Arctostaphylos (Ericaceae) fruit: A link between plant ecology and animal foraging behavior

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Persistent soil seed banks are characteristic of Arctostaphylos (Ericaceae) species in the Mediterranean‐climate California Floristic Province. While most species are obligate seeders, regeneration of stands of all Arctostaphylos species ultimately ...

Morphology of Postpollination Fruit Abortion in Pecan [PDF]

Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 1995
Anatomy of normal and abortive fruit was compared at each of the three postpollination fruit drops characteristic of pecan [Carya illinoensis (Wangenh.) C. Koch]. Size differences between normal and abortive fruit decreased during the growing season, but differences in ovule size between ...

Phenotypic divergence of traits that mediate antagonistic and mutualistic interactions between island and continental populations of the tropical plant, Tribulus cistoides (Zygophyllaceae)

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Island systems have long served as a model for evolutionary processes due to their unique species interactions. Many studies of the evolution of species interactions on islands have focused on endemic taxa.

Morphological characterization of berry fruits seeds

Pomologia Croatica : Glasilo Hrvatskog agronomskog društva, 2018
Veličina i svojstva sjemenki jagodastih voćnih vrsta važan su parametar koji utječe na iskoristivost sjemenki odnosno produkciju pojedinih kemijskih komponenti prilikom njihova iskorištavanja kao nusprodukta prerade plodova. Sjemenke manjih dimenzija potrebno je opisivati s što više parametara, a danas je to moguće računalno razvijenim metodama.

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 ...

Evolution of Epiphytism and Fruit Traits Act Unevenly on the Diversification of the Species-Rich Genus Peperomia (Piperaceae)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
The species-rich genus Peperomia (Black Pepper relatives) is the only genus among early diverging angiosperms where epiphytism evolved. The majority of fruits of Peperomia release sticky secretions or exhibit hook-shaped appendages indicative of ...
