Unlocking fruit dimensions: Quantification of functional traits driving plant–frugivore interactions

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Fleshy fruits attract animals to ingest fruit, swallow the seeds, and release them in the landscape, thus facilitating seed dispersal and plant regeneration. Attraction of animal dispersers is achieved via attractants such as color or scent, and rewards like sugars, lipids, and micronutrients.

Animal‐mediated seed dispersal: A review of study methods

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract By dispersing seeds, animals provide ecological functions critical for the ecology, evolution, and conservation of plants. We review quantitative and empirical approaches and emerging technologies to quantify processes and patterns of animal‐mediated seed dispersal (zoochory) across its phases: from predispersal to postdispersal.

Deer reduce habitat quality for a woodland songbird: evidence from settlement patterns, demographic parameters, and body condition. [PDF]

, 2013
Understanding avian responses to ungulate-induced habitat modification is important because deer populations are increasing across much of temperate Europe and North America.

Understory: writing and building [PDF]

TEXT, 2019
Exploiting the traditional association of rhetoric and architecture, this chapter argues that a different kind of writing (the silva) might express a different kind of dwelling place. A literary term for miscellany, silva also means wood, and the concrete context of the essay is the colonial fate of the Irish whose territorial and cultural subjugation ...

Understory Bamboo Discrimination Using a Winter Image [PDF]

Photogrammetric Engineering & Remote Sensing, 2009
In this study, a new approach is presented that combines forest phenology and Landsat vegetation indices to estimate evergreen understory bamboo coverage in a mixed temperate forest. It was found that vegetation indices, especially thenormalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) derived from leaf-off (winter) images were significantly correlated with ...

The impact of urbanisation on social behaviour: a comprehensive review

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Urbanisation is a key driver of global environmental change and presents animals with novel stressors and challenges. It can fundamentally influence social behaviour and has the potential to reshape within‐ and between‐species social interactions. Given the role of social behaviour in reproductive fitness and survival, understanding how social

Analysis of the relationship between L-band SAR backscatter and understory weed density in eucalyptus plantation forests

GIScience & Remote Sensing
This study aims to reveal the relationships between understory coverage (principally, weed growth) beneath the canopies of Sumatran eucalyptus plantations and L-band backscatter data gathered by the PALSAR-2 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) onboard the ...

Architecture of tree species of different strata developing in environments with the same light intensity in a semideciduous forest in southern Brazil

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2014
We aimed to answer the following questions related to the architecture of individuals 0.5-3.0 m in height belonging to understory or canopy/emergent layer tree species: "Is there a difference between individuals belonging to different strata developing ...
