Why are fruits colorful? The relative importance of achromatic and chromatic contrasts for detection by birds (2009, methodology): “Experimental design We used modeling clay (plasticine) to shape spherical artificial fruits of 14 mm diameter that have been used in previous studies on fruit detection by birds (see Alves-Costa and Lopes 2001; Galetti et al. 2003).”
Seed dispersal of fleshy‐fruited invasive plants by birds: contributing factors and management options (2005, background): “Habitat loss and fragmentation can alter the abundance and composition of the frugivorous bird community (Restrepo et al ., 1999; Moran et al ., 2004) and the rate of consumption of fleshy fruits (Galetti et al ., 2003).”
Biased seed rain in forest edges: Evidence from the Brazilian Atlantic forest (2006, background): “The results from fruit consumption by Galetti et al. (2003) suggest that frugivorous birds are more frequent in edges than in the forest interior, but less frequent in small in comparison to large fragments.”
Bird Conservation in Brazil (2005, background): “In the past decade, several studies on forest fragmentation in the Atlantic Forest have expanded on the Willis study, including Aleixo and Vielliard (1995), Machado (1995), Maldonado-Coelho and Marini (2003), Marsden et al. (2001), Galetti et al. (2003), and Ribon et al. (2003).”
Forest fragmentation differentially affects seed dispersal of large and small-seeded tropical trees (2007, background): “In contrast, at forest edges, species with seeds smaller than 6 mm were more abundant in the seed rain (Melo et al., 2006) and small artificial fruits were visited by birds more frequently than in forest interiors (Galetti et al., 2003).”
