The benefits of masting (volatile, quasi-synchronous seed production at lagged intervals)
include satiation of seed predators, but these benefits come with a cost to mutualist pollen …

Gradient and scale are two key concepts in ecology and evolution that are closely related
but inherently distinct. While scale commonly refers to the dimensional space of a specific …

Seed production in many plants is characterized by large interannual variation, which is
synchronized at subcontinental scales in some species but local in others. The reproductive …

Climate warming increases tree mortality which will require sufficient reproduction to ensure
population viability. However, the response of tree reproduction to climate change remains …

The fundamental trade‐off between current and future reproduction has long been
considered to result in a tendency for species that can grow large to begin reproduction at a …

The periodic production of large seed crops, or masting, is a widespread phenomenon in
perennial plants. This behavior can enhance the reproductive efficiency of plants, leading to …

Interannual variability of seed production, known as masting, has far‐reaching ecological
impacts including effects on forest regeneration and the population dynamics of seed …

The efficient conversion of tissues into reproductive success is a crucial aspect affecting the
evolution of life histories. Masting, the interannually variable and synchronous seed …

We present highlights derived from 36 years of weekly observations of flower and seed
production and 25 years of annual observations of seedling dynamics at Barro Colorado …

Tree regeneration is a key demographic process influencing long‐term forest dynamics. It is
driven by climate, disturbances, biotic factors and their interactions. Thus, predictions of tree …
