Seed predation selects for reproductive variability and synchrony in perennial plants

Michal Bogdziewicz et al.

Summary: Masting is a common reproductive strategy in long-lived plants that helps reduce reproduction costs and increase biological fitness. Seed predators select for specific traits in masting plant phenotypes, such as interannual variability and synchrony, supporting individual benefits of mast seeding. However, interactions between seed predators may impose contradictory selective pressures on the benefits of masting.

Reproductive biology of Syagrus coronata (Arecaceae): sex-biased insect visitation and the unusual case of scent emission by peduncular bracts

C. M. Barbosa et al.

Summary: The study found that Syagrus coronata palm promotes cross-pollination by producing abundant floral resources and emitting attractive scents to pollinators, mainly visited by small-sized beetles, indicating a unique pollination strategy.

Consequences of land use changes on seed fate and demography in the palm tree Syagrus coronata (Mart.) Becc. (Arecaceae)

Crisliane J. Pereira et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the seed fate and demographic structure of Syagrus coronata in natural and managed habitats in the Brazilian semi-arid regions. The results showed higher seed mortality in the managed habitat due to desiccation. The population of S. coronata was found to be larger in the natural habitat, dominated by seedlings, while the managed habitat had a smaller population dominated by reproductive adults. Human-modified habitats negatively affected seed survival and plant recruitment.

Individual crop size increases predispersal predation by beetles in a tropical palm

Morgana Maria Arcanjo Bruno et al.

Summary: Individual crop size of palm trees has a positive influence on predispersal seed predation by beetles. Larger crop sizes are more susceptible to seed predation. Additionally, variations in levels of seed loss may also be related to the reproductive phenology of the palm trees.
