The populations of many species of animals and plants are age-structured, ie the individuals
present at any one time were born over a range of different times, and their fertility and …

Across the tree of life, populations have evolved the capacity to contend with suboptimal
conditions by engaging in dormancy, whereby individuals enter a reversible state of reduced …

Plant populations are not randomly arranged assemblages of genotypes but are structured
in space and time (2, 29, 49, 58, 84, 112). This structure may be manifested among …

The role of polyploidy per se in the development of evolutionary novelty remains one of the
outstanding questions in flowering plant evolution. Since chromosome doubling usually is …

Seed size, dormancy, and dispersal share three population-dynamic functions in temporally
and spatially varying environments: risk reduction or bet hedging, escape from crowding …

This completely revised, fourth edition of Introduction to Plant Population Biology continues
the approach taken by its highly successful predecessors. Ecological and genetic principles …

In bet hedging, organisms sacrifice short‐term success to reduce the long‐term variance in
success. Delayed germination is the classic example of bet hedging, in which a fraction of …

Many representatives of freshwater zooplankton produce at some stage in their life cycle
resting stages. A variable portion of the eggs of the previous growing period will hatch at the …

Ecology of Soil Seed Banks examines the factors that influence seed bank dynamics and the
