Fleshy fruit traits and seed dispersers: which traits define syndromes?

Annals of botany - 18 Jul 2022

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Fruit traits and their inter-relationships can affect foraging choices by frugivores, and hence the probability of mutualistic interactions. Certain combinations of fruit traits that determine the interaction with specific seed dispersers are known as dispersal syndromes. The dispersal syndrome hypothesis (DSH) states that seed dispersers influence the combination of fruit traits found in...
