Invariant Spatial Pattern Across Mediterranean Scrublands in the Iberian Pear (Pyrus bourgaeana) by Brayan Morera, Pedro J. Garrote, Thorsten Wiegand, Daniel Ayllón, Jose M. Fedriani

“…We tested two hypotheses: (i) because the clumped defecation behavior of some dispersers can lead to local tree aggregation, and because denser groups of fruiting trees can limit seed dispersal by attracting frugivores to specific sites, we expected a consistent small‐scale aggregation pattern across all populations; and (ii) because ungulates reduce recruitment by preying on seeds and seedlings, we hypothesize that ungulate activity will show negative relationships with tree density and level of aggregation. …”

Structural features of correlations in lines with the naturally colored fiber in the trait-specific collection by L. P. Podolnaya, R. K. Tuz, M. Sh. Asfandiiarova, T. P. Rybakova, N. A. Khodjaeva

“…The negative correlation of fiber color with the first generative branch height (r = -0.53), and positive with the fiber yield (r = 0.57) indicate that the lines with brown fiber have a lower height of fruiting branches development (and potentially a shorter growing season) and a larger yield of fiber. …”
