Abstract: Synchronisation of fruiting phenology with disperser activities is an important component of plant adaptation to seed dispersal mutualisms. Although most previous studies have exclusively evaluated the effects of fruiting phenology on seed removal rate, seed… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Fruiting phenology traits may have a large effect on the detection of fungal species. Detailed studies considering these biologically important traits are, however, surprisingly scarce. We conducted a rigorous fruit body monitoring of wood-inhabiting… read more here.

Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIMS Fruiting remains under-represented in long-term phenology records, relative to leaf and flower phenology. Herbarium specimens and historical field notes can fill this gap, but selecting and synthesizing these records for modern-day comparison… read more here.

Abstract: Anthropogenic climate change is predicted to increase mean temperatures and rainfall seasonality. How tropical rainforest species will respond to this climate change remains uncertain. Here, we analysed the effects of a 4-year experimental throughfall exclusion… read more here.
