- Crop Size and Fruit Neighborhood Effects on Bird Visitation to Fruiting Schefflera morototoni Trees in Puerto Rico 1 (2005, background): “In controlled aviary experiments, frugivorous birds often discriminate among fruits that vary in aspects of fruit quality, such as color, nutrients, or accessibility (e.g., Moermond & Denslow 1983, Johnson et al. 1985, Stiles 1993, Siitari et al. 1999, Schaefer et al. 2003).”
- Birds use fruit colour as honest signal of dietary antioxidant rewards (2008, unknown): “In such a time span, birds quickly adjust their food choice according to the energy contents of alternative foods (Schaefer et al. 2003b).”
