Phenological overlap between crop and pollinators: Contrasting influence of native and non‐native bees on raspberry fruits over the flowering season

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 12, Page 2540-2549, December 2023., 2023
Providing sufficient pollen and nectar resources to support wild pollinators over extended periods in agricultural landscapes can contribute to crop pollination and ensure high fruit weight and quality. This can be achieved by restoring natural and semi‐natural areas near crop fields with native, long‐flowering plant species.

Evidence of fruit syndromes in the recently diverged wild tomato clade opens new possibilities for the study of fleshy fruit evolution

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 948-962, November 2023., 2023
Fleshy fruits provide humans with many flavorful and nutritious crops. Understanding the diversity of these plants is fundamental to managing agriculture and food security in a changing world. This study surveyed fruit trait variation across species of tomato wild relatives and explored associations among color, size, shape, sugars, and acids.

Mauritia flexuosa fruit production increases with increasing palm height in the Peruvian Amazon

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 4, Issue 6, Page 599-604, November 2022., 2022
Fruit number, size, and allometric relationships were evaluated in the Peruvian Amazon for Mauritia flexuosa, a socioeconomically important palm with conservation concerns due to destructive harvest. Significant relationships were found between total fruit number and both palm height and fruit volume. Taller palms experience more crown illumination and

Evaluating the success of functional restoration after reintroduction of a lost avian pollinator

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 4, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Conservation translocation is a common method for species recovery, for which one increasingly frequent objective is restoring lost ecological functions to promote ecosystem recovery. However, few conservation translocation programs explicitly state or monitor function as an objective, limiting the ability to test assumptions, learn from past ...

Cacao flower visitation: Low pollen deposition, low fruit set and dominance of herbivores

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 3, Issue 2, April–June 2022., 2022
Pollination of native cacao is surprisingly understudied, even though the process is crucial for the global chocolate production. In an understudied peruvian region, we found herbivores as dominant flower visitors, and low pollen deposition.Fruit set was low when flowers were pollinated naturally (2%), but also manually (7%). Our findings highlight the
