• Plants show more flesh in the tropics: variation in fruit type along latitudinal and climatic gradients (2017, background): “A high diversity of fleshy fruits in the tropics might increase consumption by specialised fruit eaters which are generally absent from temperate latitudes (Snow 1971).”
• Birds and ants provide complementary seed dispersal in a neotropical savanna (2010, unknown): “The fruit crop size hypothesis states that plants producing large fruit crops are likely to attract a greater number and variety of frugivores (and thus have increased seed dispersal success) compared to plants with small fruit crops (Snow 1971; McKey 1975; Howe & Estabrook 1977).”
