We assessed the occurrence and fruit production of 13 grizzly bear foods in west-central Alberta, Canada, to better understand use of clearcuts by grizzly bears.
The sporadic occurrence of fruit bats in bushmeat markets ultimately made direct market counts unfeasible as a means of estimating numbers of bats traded.
The occurrence of fruit sectorial chimeras and spontaneous/induced sport mutations have been reported in the literature, with either russet-free sports from russet susceptible cultivars or russeted sports from trees bearing fruits with no or little russet [ 4, 7, 25– 27].
Patterns of flowering, and occurrence of unripe fruit and ripe fruit were studied at two levels of intensity for 24 months within a 5-year span.
The occurrence of unripe fruit was considered to be between flower disappearance and ripe fruit, including fruit in immature stages, from small fruits to full size, and without any signal (e.g. full size, colour change, smell and dehiscence) for dispersal.
In addition, the occurrence of abnormal fruit type known as mantled [ 2] has reduced the number of fertile fruits in palms propagated by tissue culture, thus resulting in loss of oil yield.
The occurrence of wasted fruit and vegetables at the wholesaler and retailer levels was identified.
Comparisons were made between clearcuts and upland forest stands, while specific models describing food or fruit occurrence within clearcuts were developed from canopy, clearcut age, scarification, and terrain-related variables using logistic regression.
Thereby, the state and spatial occurrence of various fruit tree species and varieties are assessed, the services that they confer to people are evaluated, and recommendations are made on strategies aiming at enhancing their services.
The report of discovery of the latter two compounds in 2008 represents their first known occurrence in fungal fruit bodies.
