DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16272
Abstract: PREMISE The lateral membranous expansions of fruits, commonly referred to as wings, have long been theorized to serve only dispersal functions. Alternatively, because winged fruits typically have earlier seed germination than unwinged fruits, we hypothesized… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16412
Abstract: PREMISE Seed germination involves risk; post-germination conditions might not allow survival and reproduction. Variable, stressful environments favor seeds with germination that avoids risk (e.g., germination in conditions predicting success), spreads risk (e.g., dormancy), or escapes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajp.70077
Abstract: Howler monkeys are considered high‐quality seed dispersers; however, the changes that seeds undergo after passing through their digestive tract, which influence their germination capacity, are still unknown. In this study, we assessed whether the consumption… read more here.
