Summer solstice orchestrates the subcontinental-scale synchrony of mast seeding
High interannual variation in seed production in perennial plants can be synchronized at
subcontinental scales with wide consequences for ecosystem functioning, but how such …

Evolutionary ecology of masting: mechanisms, models, and climate change
Many perennial plants show mast seeding, characterized by synchronous and highly
variable reproduction across years. We propose a general model of masting, integrating …

Climate change does not equally affect temporal patterns of natural selection on reproductive timing across populations in two songbird species
CC Jantzen, ME Visser - Proceedings of the Royal …, 2023 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Climate change has led to changes in the strength of directional selection on seasonal
timing. Understanding the causes and consequences of these changes is crucial to predict …

Tail‐dependence of masting synchrony results in continent‐wide seed scarcity
Spatial synchrony may be tail‐dependent, meaning it is stronger for peaks rather than
troughs, or vice versa. High interannual variation in seed production in perennial plants …

Reconstruction of Araucaria araucana cone production reveals warming intensifies regionally synchronized masting
The reproduction of many long‐lived plants is highly variable and synchronized, known as
masting. Masting is a key driver of plant regeneration dynamics and has cascading effects …
