Frugivores and cheap fruits make fruiting fruitful [PDF]

Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2014
AbstractAnimal seed dispersal provides an important ecosystem service by strongly benefiting plant communities. There are several theoretical studies on the ecology of plant–animal seed–disperser interactions, but few studies have explored the evolution of this mutualism.

Mycotoxins in Fruits, Fruit Juices, and Dried Fruits

Journal of Food Protection, 2003
This review gives an overview of the presence of mycotoxins in fruits. Although several mycotoxins occur in nature, very few (aflatoxins, ochratoxin A, patulin, Alternaria toxins) are regularly found in fruits. It has been shown that the presence of fungi on fruits is not necessarily associated with mycotoxin contamination.

Edge creation changes the timing and intensity of phenological reproductive patterns and species activities in forest tree communities

Rodriguésia, 2021
Environmental characteristics are among the most important triggers and regulators of plant phenophases, so that the abiotic and biotic changes driven by habitat loss and fragmentation can result in alterations of plant phenological patterns.
