Masting, the intermittent and synchronous production of large seed crops, can have
profound consequences for plant populations and the food webs that are built on their …

Populations of many long-lived plants exhibit spatially synchronized seed production that
varies extensively over time, so that seed production in some years is much higher than on …

Our overall objective is to synthesize mast-seeding data on North American Pinaceae to
detect characteristic features of reproduction (ie development cycle length, serotiny …

Masting describes the spatiotemporal variability in seed production by a population of
plants. Both abiotic and biotic factors drive masting, but the importance of these factors can …

Many trees exhibit masting–where reproduction is temporally variable and synchronous
over large areas. Several dominant masting species occur in tropical cyclone (TC)‐prone …

Masting, the spatial synchronization of interannual variation in seed production, can
enhance reproductive efficiency through positive density‐dependent processes (DD) that …

Cyclical fluctuations in reproductive output are widespread among perennial plants, from
multi-year masting cycles in forest trees to alternate bearing in horticultural crops. In natural …

There is evidence that variable and synchronous reproduction in seed plants (masting)
correlates to modes of climate variability, eg El Niño Southern Oscillation and North Atlantic …

Synchronized episodic reproduction among long‐lived plants shapes ecological
interactions, ecosystem dynamics, and evolutionary processes worldwide. Two active …

Range boundaries are long‐term biogeographic features of species distributions and
abundance. However, many species demonstrate dynamic range boundaries, reflecting …
