This review reports on the processes associated with costs of reproduction, including some
theoretical considerations, definitions and methodological aspects, followed by a list of the …

Life-history theory revolves around the idea that various activities, such as growth,
maintenance, and reproduction, compete for limited resources. Hence, current reproduction …

While the majority of flowering plant species are hermaphroditic, gender di morphism, or the
occurrence of two sexual morphs, has, nevertheless, evolved on repeated occasions …

Introductions of exotic species provide unique opportunities to study the demographic
significance of species interactions, but as yet there is little information on how mutualistic …

We used sets of meta‐analyses to review the evidence of sex‐biased herbivory in dioecious
plants as well as intersexual differences in plant characteristics that might affect herbivores …

Dioecious plant species commonly exhibit deviations from the equilibrium expectation of 1: 1
sex ratio, but the mechanisms governing this variation are poorly understood. Here, we use …

Dioecious plant species represent an important component of terrestrial ecosystems. Yet,
little is known about sex‐specific responses to drought and elevated temperatures. Populus …

Over the past several decades, we have increased our understanding of the influences of
plant genetics on associated communities and ecosystem functions. These influences have …

Sexually dimorphic organisms provide elegant comparative systems in which to study
adaptation (Darwin 1859, 1877; Shine 1989; Chap. 4). Their elegance derives from the fact …
