Dioecy, the coexistence of separate male and female individuals in a population, is a rare
but phylogenetically widespread sexual system in flowering plants. While research has …

The evolution of predominant self‐fertilisation frequently coincides with the evolution of a
collection of phenotypes that comprise the 'selfing syndrome', in both plants and animals …

With the advent of the Anthropocene, biological invasions have reached an unprecedented
level, and the number of species introductions is still increasing in an ever‐changing world …

Island biogeography is the study of the distribution and dynamics of species in island
environments. Due to their isolation from more widespread continental species, islands are …

The evolution of annual or perennial strategies in flowering plants likely depends on a broad
array of temperature and precipitation variables. Previous documented climate life‐history …

CRISPR gene drive has recently been proposed as a promising technology for population
management, including in conservation genetics. The technique would consist in releasing …

Selfing has evolved in animals, fungi, and plants, and since Darwin's pioneering study, it is
considered one of the most frequent evolutionary trends in flowering plants. Generally, the …

Many plant species have established self-sustaining populations outside their natural range
because of human activities. Plants with selfing ability should be more likely to establish …

We review transitions between hermaphroditism and dioecy in animals and (mainly
flowering) plants. Although hermaphroditism and dioecy represent two end states in a sex …

Because establishing a new population often depends critically on finding mates, individuals
capable of uniparental reproduction may have a colonization advantage. Accordingly, there …
