Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 511–521 Abstract Flowering times of plants are important life‐
history components and it has previously been hypothesized that flowering phenologies …

▪ Abstract Understanding seed physiology is central to reconstructing how angiosperms
have evolved, to characterizing dormancy and germination regimes shared by suites of …

Limited findings have been reported on using nanomaterials to improve tree fruit growth,
development, and productivity under various stress conditions. To assess the effect of …

1 Multiple-species floral displays have been hypothesized to facilitate pollination by
attracting a greater number and/or diversity of pollinators. Here I present experimental …

Outcrossing in plants is influenced by the availability of pollinators and compatible mates,
both of which may be modified by the population and community context in which plant …

Abstract Myrteae (c. 2500 species; 51 genera) is the largest tribe of Myrtaceae and an
ecologically important groups of angiosperms in the Neotropics. Systematic relationships in …

To relate differences in phenological strategies of a group of closely related plants to biotic
(pollinators, dispersers) and abiotic (water, light) factors, we studied leafing, flowering, and …

Phenology has established its status as an integrative environmental science and as a key
component for climate change research. We aim to present a review of phenological …

From a functional perspective, changes in abundance, and ultimately species replacement,
during succession are a consequence of integrated suites of traits conferring different …

In this study, we built up a database of 570 species from an alpine meadow on the eastern
Tsinghai–Tibet plateau. We examined the correlation of seed mass and germination with …
