Fruit syndromes in Viburnum: correlated evolution of color, nutritional content, and morphology in bird-dispersed fleshy fruits

Abstract Premise A key question in plant dispersal via animal vectors is where and why fruit colors vary between species and how color relates to other fruit traits.To better understand the factors shaping the evolution of fruit color diversity, we tested for the existence of syndromes of traits (color, morphology, and nutrition) in the fruits of V
