Many perennial plants show mast seeding, characterized by synchronous and highly
variable reproduction across years. We propose a general model of masting, integrating …

Abstract Purpose of Review The increasing impact of droughts, wildfires and windstorms in
temperate areas poses a significant challenge to the adaptation capacity of forests and their …

Masting, the intermittent and synchronous production of large seed crops, can have
profound consequences for plant populations and the food webs that are built on their …

Masting, a variable and synchronized variation in reproductive effort is a prevalent strategy
among perennial plants, but the factors leading to interspecific differences in masting remain …

Populations of many long-lived plants exhibit spatially synchronized seed production that
varies extensively over time, so that seed production in some years is much higher than on …

Masting describes the spatiotemporal variability in seed production by a population of
plants. Both abiotic and biotic factors drive masting, but the importance of these factors can …

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 …

Synchronized episodic reproduction among long‐lived plants shapes ecological
interactions, ecosystem dynamics, and evolutionary processes worldwide. Two active …

Many trees exhibit masting–where reproduction is temporally variable and synchronous
over large areas. Several dominant masting species occur in tropical cyclone (TC)‐prone …

Australia is home to a diverse assemblage of plant species that display marked population-
level variation in inter-annual flower or seed output (ie masting). These include a …
