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 …

The fundamental trade‐off between current and future reproduction has long been
considered to result in a tendency for species that can grow large to begin reproduction at a …

The periodic production of large seed crops, or masting, is a widespread phenomenon in
perennial plants. This behavior can enhance the reproductive efficiency of plants, leading to …

Climate warming has induced pronounced shifts in the phenology of alpine plants
worldwide, yet the impact of these changes on plant reproduction remains unclear, although …

Seed production and survival are critical steps in the life cycle of plants, and could become
bottlenecks for plant regeneration in case of failure. During regeneration many factors, both …

All species must partition resources among the processes that underly growth, survival, and
reproduction. The resulting demographic trade‐offs constrain the range of viable life‐history …

Trees can differ enormously in their crown architectural traits, such as the scaling
relationships that link their height and crown size to their stem diameter. Yet despite the …

Experimental manipulations of the balance between leaves as source organs and
reproductive structures as sink organs have contributed greatly to our understanding of the …

Tropical cyclones are common disturbances on many Pacific islands and affect forest
structure and community composition. However, we know little about the process of …
