Most terrestrial plants associate with root-colonising mycorrhizal fungi, which improve the
fitness of both the fungal and plant associates. However, exceptions exist both between and …

Submerged vegetation respond to increased nutrient loading through a shift from slow-
growing seagrasses and large macroalgae to fast-growing macroalgae, and the ultimate …

Triffids were, admittedly, a bit weird—but that was, after all, just because they were novelties.
People had felt the same about novelties of other days—about kangaroos, giant lizards …

Apical dominance is the preferential growth of a plant shoot (or root) from the apical or
terminal meristem, and the corresponding suppression of lateral subtending meristems and …

Clonal plants grow by the production of semi-autonomous modules (ramets), and form
complex branching structures which may provide communication/resource flow channels …

Clonal growth is an important attribute of many groups of plants and animals (White 1979,
Harper et al. 1986). In the plant kingdom, phyla from all evolutionary levels show the …

Some clonal plant species decrease rhizome or stolon internode lengths and/or increase the
frequency of branching when they grow in favorable environments. This foraging response …

Bryozoans are an important part of the benthic marine fauna in a wide variety of modern
environments and are found in rock forming abundance in a number of settings throughout …
