The transition from outcrossing to self-fertilization is one of the most common evolutionary
changes in plants, yet only about 10–15% of flowering plants are predominantly selfing. To …

Charles Darwin recognized that flowering plants have an unrivalled diversity of sexual
systems. Determining the ecological and genetic factors that govern sexual diversification in …

Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 677–689 Abstract Although some organisms have moved to
higher elevations and latitudes in response to recent climate change, there is little …

▪ Abstract Quantifying the extent to which seed production is limited by the availability of
pollen has been an area of intensive empirical study over the past few decades. Whereas …

▪ Abstract Mixed mating, in which hermaphrodite plant species reproduce by both self-and
cross-fertilization, presents a challenging problem for evolutionary biologists. Theory …

The integration of functional traits into vulnerability assessments is a promising approach to
quantitatively capture differences in species sensitivity and adaptive capacity to climate …

This chapter covers plant invasions and invasibility of plant communities, with sections on
definitions and major patterns, habitat compatibility, propagule pressure and residence time …

Mating in seed plants arises from interactions between plant traits and the environmental
and demographic context in which individuals reside. These interactions commonly cause …

We review and analyze the available literature on the frequency and distribution of self-
incompatibility (SI) among angiosperms and find that SI is reported in more than 100 families …

The duplication of an entire genome is no small affair. Whole genome duplication (WGD) is
a dramatic mutation with long-lasting effects, yet it occurs repeatedly in all eukaryotic …
