Background Below-ground bud banks have experienced much recent interest due to
discoveries that they (1) account for the majority of seasonal population renewal in many …

▪ Abstract Quantifying the extent to which seed production is limited by the availability of
pollen has been an area of intensive empirical study over the past few decades. Whereas …

The orchid family is renowned for its enormous diversity of pollination mechanisms and
unusually high occurrence of non-rewarding flowers compared to other plant families. The …

Spatio-temporal patterns of snowmelt and flowering times affect fruiting success in
Erythronium grandiflorum Pursh (Liliaceae) in subalpine western Colorado, USA. From 1990 …

Sex-allocation trade-offs may maintain variation in secondary sexual characteristics if such
traits vary in their benefits or costs in association with different genders. In Polemonium …

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

Our understanding of pollen limitation depends on a realistic view of its magnitude. Previous
reviews of pollen supplementation experiments concluded that a majority of plant species …

High biodiversity of forests is not predicted by traditional models, and evidence for trade‐offs
those models require is limited. High‐dimensional regulation (eg, N factors to regulate N …

Although coevolution is acknowledged to occur in nature, coevolutionary patterns in
symbioses not involving species-to-species relationships are poorly understood. Mycorrhizal …

Mast‐seeding is the synchronous and periodic reproduction by plant populations. This
phenomenon has been widely studied from a community‐level perspective, but we know …
