• Nutritional Ecology of Ateles chamek in lowland Bolivia: How Macronutrient Balancing Influences Food Choices (2009, background): “Ripe-fruit specialists often avoid unripe fruits because they are usually less palatable than ripe fruits (Venu et al. 2005), contain less gross energy ( Schaefer et al. 2003 ), and often contain toxins or antifeedants (Cipollini and Levey 1997a, b). Some of this may be true for the unripe figs in t”
• Birds use fruit colour as honest signal of dietary antioxidant rewards (2008, unknown): “None of the fruit species included in the analyses is of commercial interest, and all species are dispersed by birds (see Schaefer et al . 2003a; Schaefer, Schaefer & Vorobyev 2007).”
• Management of plant invasions mediated by frugivore interactions (2006, unknown): “The rate of fruit removal across species is positively related to nutrient levels and negatively to chemical defences (Schaefer, Schmidt & Winkler 2003).”
• FRUIT QUALITY AND CONSUMPTION BY SONGBIRDS DURING AUTUMN MIGRATION (2007, unknown): “Secondary compounds may also affect fruit choice because birds may eat a diversity of fruits to avoid toxic levels of particular secondary compounds (Barnea et al. 1993; Ci-pollini and Levey 1997a, 1997b; Levey and Cipollini 1998; Schaefer et al. 2003).”
• The dispersal syndrome hypothesis: How animals shaped fruit traits, and how they did not (2020, background): “The inverse is also true: defending against antagonists can make fruits less attractive to frugivores, thus creating an inherent tradeoff between attracting mutualists and deterring antagonists (Hodgkison et al., 2013; Nevo et al., 2016; Schaefer et al., 2003).”
