Evolution of fruit types and seed dispersal: A phylogenetic and ecological snapshot (2008, background): “Both events allowed the development of closed forest systems in the early Tertiary and the radiation of fleshy fruits, which was coupled with animal diversification in the forest habitats (Bolmgren & Eriksson, 2005).”
Impact of abundance weighting on the response of seed traits to climate and land use (2008, background): “Large-seeded species with berries are associated with undisturbed/closed habitats with little grazing (Eriksson et al . 2000; Bolmgren & Eriksson 2005 ).”
Plants show more flesh in the tropics: variation in fruit type along latitudinal and climatic gradients (2017, background): “Some studies have suggested that abiotic factors, such as climatic variables, could play an important role in driving fruit types (Eriksson et al. 2000, Bollen et al. 2005, Bolmgren and Eriksson 2005).”
The shared influence of phylogeny and ecology on the reproductive patterns of Myrteae (Myrtaceae) (2010, background): “The evolution of fleshy fruits is a phylogenetically conserved character (Jordano 1995; Bolmgren & Eriksson 2005), i.e. fleshy-fruited species remain in the same niche space (Harvey & Pagel 1991; Lord, Westoby & Leishman 1995), accounting for the elevated phylogenetic signal found in the Myrteae…”
Functional attributes change but functional richness is unchanged after fragmentation of Brazilian Atlantic forests (2014, background): “…to the morphological and physical adaptations of trees in their role as food resources, their dispersal and in carbon storage and forest structure (Tabarelli & Peres 2002; Bolmgren & Eriksson 2005; Laurance et al. 2006a,b; Bongers et al. 2009; Moran & Catterall 2010; Tabarelli et al. 2010).”
Evolution of Seed Size and Biotic Seed Dispersal in Angiosperms: Paleoecological and Neoecological Evidence (2008, background): “…the patterns of change in seed size and biotic dispersal depicted in figures 1 and 2, this prediction is also supported by comparative analyses of changes within angiosperm lineages in fruit types in relation to vegetation shifts, which recurred during the Tertiary (Bolmgren and Eriksson 2005).”
Phylogenetic clustering and overdispersion for alpine plants along elevational gradient in the Hengduan Mountains Region, southwest China (2014, background): “The fruit type and dry or not when ripe, is thought to be a consequence of the plants adapting to the living environment (Bolmgren & Eriksson, 2005; Peng et al., 2012).”
