Dioecious plants exhibit sexual dimorphism in both sexual features (reproductive organs)
and secondary sex characteristics (vegetative traits). Sexual differences in secondary traits …

Herbivory rates have classically been hypothesized to decrease from the tropics towards
higher latitudes because the more benign abiotic conditions in tropical systems foster …

Dioecious plants can exhibit sexual dimorphism across a suite of plant traits, including
susceptibility to herbivory and secondary chemistry. One hypothesis is that because of …

Self-fertilization commonly occurs in hermaphroditic species, either occasionally or as the
main reproductive mode. It strongly affects the genetic functioning of a population by …

Leaves are critical to plant photosynthesis and the loss of leaf area can have negative
consequences for an individual's performance and fitness. Variation in plant defenses plays …

Intersexual differences in resource allocation between host plant sexes have been the most
proposed mechanism to explain variation in herbivory in dioecious plants. In this sense, the …

In this study, vegetation reproduction has been investigated in order to understand aspects
of speciation, structuring and composition of plant communities. Thus, we sought to …
