Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 419–431 Abstract Do invasive plant species have greater
phenotypic plasticity than non‐invasive species? And, if so, how does this affect their fitness …

Background The rich literature that characterizes the field of pollination biology has focused
largely on animal-pollinated plants. At least 10% of angiosperms are wind pollinated, and …

Research into the reproductive biology of crop plants has expanded greatly in recent years
and has lead to an increasing awareness of the importance of flowering, pollination, and fruit …

Composition and structure of plant communities can be strongly influenced by plant
interactions. Interactions among plants commonly comprise positive and negative effects …

Evidence is presented that individuals of a large number of dioecious and subdioecious
plant species are able to alter their sexual state in response to changes in the ambient …

This book takes a uniquely integrated approach to the study of floral biology. Flowers are the
beautiful and complex reproductive structures of the angiosperms, one of the most diverse …

There are conceptual and practical difficulties in measuring the exact shape of fitness-gain
curves and sex allocation, and these hamper empirical testing of some of the basic …

The range of environmental sex determination and sex changes throughout plant taxa from
bryophytes and pteridophytes to spermatophytes is reviewed. Lability in sex expression …

Angiosperms display an enormous diversity of forms, functions and strategies when it comes
to reproduction. This multiplicity has been translated into several terminological concepts …

Evolutionary biologists have produced a solid body of evidence to explain patterns of
diversification, both within and among species. Recent textbooks are weighted towards …
