Physiological and ecological constraints play key roles in the evolution of plant growth
patterns, especially in relation to defenses against herbivores. Phenotypic and life history …

Plants and herbivores are remarkably variable in space and time, and variability has been
considered a defining feature of their interactions. Empirical research, however, has …

We used sets of meta‐analyses to review the evidence of sex‐biased herbivory in dioecious
plants as well as intersexual differences in plant characteristics that might affect herbivores …

P opulation genetic structure is determined by genetic isolation, which is governed by the
forces of genetic drift, natural selection and gene flow'. Gene flow acts to homogenize the …

In the last decade, an increasing number of studies have suggested that males and females
of dioecious plants may be differentially affected by competition, herbivory, and parasitism …

Aquatic Dicotyledons of North America: Ecology, Life History, and Systematics brings
together a wealth of information on the natural history, ecology, and systematics of North …

Although several climatic factors are expected to change simultaneously in the future, the
effect of such combined changes on plants have seldom been tested under field conditions …

Individual trees in a North Florida population of Quercus geminata,(sand live oak) vary
widely in rates of herbivory by a leaf—mining moth (Stilbosis quadricustatella). Some oaks …

Premise The evolution of sex chromosomes is driven by sexual dimorphism, yet it can be
challenging to document sexually dimorphic traits in dioecious plant species. At the genetic …

Dioecious plants can exhibit sexual dimorphism across a suite of plant traits, including
susceptibility to herbivory and secondary chemistry. One hypothesis is that because of …
