Nitrogen and phosphorus enrichment cause declines in invertebrate populations: a global meta‐analysis
Human‐driven changes in nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) inputs are modifying
biogeochemical cycles and the trophic state of many habitats worldwide. These alterations …

Intrinsic and extrinsic drivers of intraspecific variation in seed dispersal are diverse and pervasive
There is growing realization that intraspecific variation in seed dispersal can have important
ecological and evolutionary consequences. However, we do not have a good understanding …

Global patterns in the predator satiation effect of masting: A meta-analysis
R Zwolak, P Celebias… - Proceedings of the …, 2022 - National Acad Sciences
Predator satiation is the most commonly tested hypothesis that explains the evolutionary
advantages of masting. It proposes that masting benefits plant reproduction by reducing the …

Climate warming disrupts mast seeding and its fitness benefits in European beech
Many plants benefit from synchronous year-to-year variation in seed production, called
masting. Masting benefits plants because it increases the efficiency of pollination and …

Oak masting drivers vary between populations depending on their climatic environments
Large interannual variation in seed production, called masting, is very common in wind-
pollinated tree populations and has profound implications for the dynamics of forest …

Plants in the city: understanding recruitment dynamics in urban landscapes
In cities, naturally regenerating plant populations are critical in sustaining both ecological
function and ecosystem services. However, scientists have a limited understanding of the …

From theory to experiments for testing the proximate mechanisms of mast seeding: an agenda for an experimental ecology
Highly variable and synchronised production of seeds by plant populations, known as
masting, is implicated in many important ecological processes, but how it arises remains …

Do benefits of seed dispersal and caching by scatterhoarders outweigh the costs of predation? An example with oaks and yellow‐necked mice
Numerous interactions between plants and animals vary in their outcome between
antagonism and mutualism. Interactions between plants and scatter‐hoarding animals …

Masting in wind‐pollinated trees: system‐specific roles of weather and pollination dynamics in driving seed production
Masting, the highly variable production of synchronized large seed crops, is a common
reproductive strategy in plant populations. In wind‐pollinated trees, flowering and pollination …

Seed predation selects for reproductive variability and synchrony in perennial plants
Annually variable and synchronous seed production by plant populations, or masting, is a
widespread reproductive strategy in long‐lived plants. Masting is thought to be selectively …
