Flowering plants exhibit two principal life-history strategies: annuality (living and
reproducing in one year) and perenniality (living more than one year). The advantages of …

Charles Darwin recognized that flowering plants have an unrivalled diversity of sexual
systems. Determining the ecological and genetic factors that govern sexual diversification in …

摘要植物繁育系统是当今进化生物学研究中最为活跃的领域. 繁育系统是指代表所有影响后代

This completely revised, fourth edition of Introduction to Plant Population Biology continues
the approach taken by its highly successful predecessors. Ecological and genetic principles …

▪ Abstract Mixed mating, in which hermaphrodite plant species reproduce by both self-and
cross-fertilization, presents a challenging problem for evolutionary biologists. Theory …

The genetic diversity of our crop plants has been substantially reduced during the process of
domestication and breeding. This reduction in diversity necessarily constrains our ability to …

We conducted a comparative analysis to determine life history and ecological correlates of
pollen limitation among 224 species of animal-pollinated flowering plants. To test …

Although they are relative latecomers on the evolutionary scene, having emerged only 135?
170 million years ago, angiosperms—or flowering plants—are the most diverse and species …

Comparisons of the causes and consequences of cross–and self–fertilization have
dominated research on plant mating since Darwin's seminal work on plant reproduction …

The ecological significance of spacing among plants in contributing to the maintenance of
species richness, particularly in tropical forests, has received considerable attention that has …
