Among dioecious flowering plants, females and males often differ in a range of
morphological, physiological, and life-history traits. This is referred to as sexual dimorphism …

Life-history theory revolves around the idea that various activities, such as growth,
maintenance, and reproduction, compete for limited resources. Hence, current reproduction …

While the majority of flowering plant species are hermaphroditic, gender di morphism, or the
occurrence of two sexual morphs, has, nevertheless, evolved on repeated occasions …

In the last decade, an increasing number of studies have suggested that males and females
of dioecious plants may be differentially affected by competition, herbivory, and parasitism …

In addition to human‐caused changes in the environment, natural stochasticity may threaten
species persistence, and its impact must be taken into account when priorities are …

1 Using a combination of observational and experimental approaches, both allocation of
resources to reproduction (often called the direct cost of reproduction) and the subsequent …

1. The female-biased sex ratio in the genus Salix is widely documented, but little is known
about the ecological mechanisms causing this bias. We investigated the flowering sex ratio …

Sexual competition among dioecious plants affects sex ratios and the spatial distribution of
the sexes in different environments. At present, little is known about sexual dimorphisms …

The importance of ants for pollination in the dioecious Borderea pyrenaica (Dioscoreaceae),
a Tertiary palaeoendemic plant of the Pyrenees (NE Iberian Peninsula) was studied. The …

Understanding how vital rates and reproductive value change with age is fundamental to
demography, life history evolution and population genetics. The universality of organism …
