[JUAN L. CELIS-DIEZ] Seed size is a life history attribute that affects the probability of seed predation, and thereforer\n affects plant fitness. Compared with smaller seeds, those with large size should be more attractive\r\n to predators, as they constitute a more profitable food item because of higher energetic and/or\r\n nutrient content. However, predator preferences may be frequency-dependent in the sense that they\r\n may be modulated by the relative abundance of alternative seeds of different sizes... , "[Britta Kerstin Kunz] Seed size is an important plant fitness trait that can influence several steps between fruiting and\r\n the establishment of a plant’s offspring. Seed size varies considerably within many plant species,\r\n yet the relevance of the trait for intra-specific fruit choice by primates has received little\r\n attention. Primates may select certain seed sizes within a species for a number of reasons, e.g. to\r\n decrease indigestible seed load or increase pulp intake per fruit... |
