In dioecious populations, males and females may evolve different trait values to increase
fitness through their respective sexual functions. Because hermaphrodites express both …

Within‐flower self‐pollination should be the major source of self‐fertilization in mixed‐
mating species that present single or few flowers simultaneously. It is also an often …

Background The anthosphere, also known as the floral microbiome, is a crucial component
of the plant reproductive system. Therefore, understanding the anthospheric microbiome is …

Premise Changes to flowering time caused by climate change could affects plant fecundity,
but studies that compare the individual‐level responses of phenologically distinct, co …

Wild plant species provide excellent examples of qualitative traits that evolve in response to
environmental challenges (eg, flower color, heavy metal tolerance, cyanogenesis, and male …

Pollen-mediated gene flow and spatial genetic structure have rarely been studied in alpine
plants that are pollinated by dipteran insects. In particular, it is not clear how different floral …

Within-flower self-pollination should be the major source of self-fertilization in mixed-mating
species presenting single or few flowers simultaneously. It is also an often unmeasured …

The optimal life history and sex allocation of perennial hermaphrodites should depend on
both their size and the relative costs and benefits of reproducing through male versus female …

Sex allocation theory successfully predicts sex-ratio variation among organisms with
separate sexes, but it has been much less successful in explaining variation in sex …

Coral reefs experience natural and anthropogenic disturbances that can shift reefs from
coral to algal domination, with concurrent loss of ecosystem functions and services. Pulse …
