Therefore, rodent foraging preferences for certain seed traits (species, size, condition) have been extensively studied. However, to what extent these preferences are fixed or they track the temporal changes on seed characteristics due to phenological differences has been seldom explored.We stud- ied the temporal variability in seed preferences by wood mouse (Apodemus sylvaticus), according to phenological changes in seed characteristics of two co-occurring oaks (Quercus ilex and Quercus pubescens). The phenology of acorn abundance and the acorn predation/dispersal patterns by rodents were monitored over an entire seeding season. Results revealed temporal changes in rodent preferences for acorns of the two oaks, matching their different seeding phe- nology (earlier in Q. pubescens and later in Q. ilex). On the other hand, whatever the species considered, rodents preferred larger and sound acorns along the entire season, although the dispersal of infested ones increased slightly during the peaks of acorn drop. The observed influence of seeding phenology on seed choices by rodents warns about inferring definite conclusions regarding their foraging behavior when arising from short-term experiments. Indeed, this study reveals that foraging preferences may be highly dynamic and context- dependent for some seed traits (e.g., species and condition), rather than fixed behavioral patterns. Plasticity in rodent for- aging choices may allowthem to successfully exploit different oaks with uncoupled seeding phenologies, while potentially favoring their coexistence.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>3</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CARBONERO, M D</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">GARCÍA-MORENO, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Calzado, C</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">FERNÁNDEZ-REBOLLO, P</style></author></authors><secondary-authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Reiné, R</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Barrantes, O</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Broca, A</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ferrer, C</style></author></secondary-authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">La productividad de bellota en la dehesa y su relación con parámetros meteorológicos</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Actas de la XLVIII RC de la SEEP.

The seed proteins, which constitute approximately 5% of the seed weight, are glutelins on the basis of solubility criteria. They are readily solubilized in sodium borate buffer, pH 10, 50 mM, containing 1% (v/v) ?-mercaptoethanol and 1% (w/v) sodium dodecyl sulfate. This fraction is made up of a large number of polypeptides with molecular masses ranging from 10 to above 100 kDa and occurs in the form of large aggregates. The level of glycosylation is low, with two main glycopolypeptides present (43 and 65 kDa). However, the major polypeptides are not glycosylated. In vitro digestibility studies indicated that trypsin and α-chymotrypsin produce a partial proteolysis of the cotyledonary proteins, particularly among the larger molecular mass polypeptides. The partial proteolysis seen in trypsin digests is not due to the presence of enzyme inhibitors in the seeds. On the other hand, pepsin almost completely digests the seed proteins.

La richesse des semences est relativement faible (500/m2); par contre, sa richesse floristique est élevée (56 espèces/m2). Les types de dispersion les plus utilisés sont l'anémochorie, l'autochorie et l'ornithochorie. La plupart des semences enfouies dans le sol appartiennent à des espèces étrangères à la futaie, provenant de milieux (sources) voisins ou lointains. On a constaté aussi une convergence de la flore des semences des banques du sol de diverses communautés. A la faveur d'une perturbation (feu ou coupe) ces semences trouvent des conditions favorables (car héliophiles pour la plupart), germent et produisent de nombreuses plantules constituant des stades transitoires. The soil seed bank has been studied in a Quercus ilex forest. Seed richness was relatively low (500/m2); in contrast, specific richness was high (56 species/m2). Anemochory (wind-borne), autochory (self-dispersion) and ornithochory (birds) were the dissemination types encountered most. Most of the seed buried in the soil belonged to species alien to the forest, coming from neighbouring or distant (sources) environments. A convergence between the soil seed bank floras of different communities could be noticed. When a disturbance (fire or cutting) occurs, creating favourable conditions, seeds germinate producing numerous seedlings representing transitory stages.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
