Adaptation of flower and fruit colours to multiple, distinct mutualists.
Communication in plant-animal mutualisms frequently involves multiple perceivers. A fundamental uncertainty is whether and how species adapt to communicate with groups of mutualists having distinct sensory abilities. We quantified the colour conspicuousness of flowers and fruits originating from one European and two South American plant communities, using visual models of pollinators (bee and f...
متن کاملBirds see the true colours of fruits to live off the fat of the land 1
27 Communication is a characteristic of life, but its reliability and basic definition are hotly 28 debated. Theory predicts that trade among mutualists requires high reliability. Here, we 29 show that moderate reliability already allows mutualists to optimise their rewards. The 30 colours of Mediterranean fleshy-fruits indicate lipid rewards (but not other nutrients) to 31 avian seed disperser...

متن کاملFlowering and fruit set in olive: a review. Esmaeil Seifi1*, Jenny Guerin2, Brent Kaiser2 and Margaret Sedgley3
Olive is one of the most ancient fruit trees and has been cultivated for its oil for thousands of years. A mature olive tree produces about 500,000 flowers. They are borne on inflorescences termed panicles. The number of flowers and their distribution on the inflorescence are specific for each cultivar but can change from year to year. The flower position on the inflorescence affects its gender...
متن کاملRecent advances in ethylene research.
Ethylene regulates many aspects of the plant life cycle, including seed germination, root initiation, flower development, fruit ripening, senescence, and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. It thus plays a key role in responses to the environment that have a direct bearing on a plant's fitness for adaptation and reproduction. In recent years, there have been major advances in our understa...
