Fruit of a contrasting colour is more detectable by frugivores

摘要: Determination of the factors that rule preference birds for certain fruits is fundamental to understanding co-evolution plants and their dispersers (Alves-Costa & Lopes 2001). Plants might compete dispersers, response will differ according variety available in nature (Denslow Moermond 1982, Herrera 1981). Seed dispersal by directly related features fruit, including colour, size, shape, abundance, nutritional value, habitat distance between are fruiting 2001, Galetti et al . 2003, Levey 1994, Murray 1993). To understand how integrate these terms fruit choice a complex widely misunderstood problem (Levey 1994).
