Mast seeding is a widespread and widely studied phenomenon. However, the physiological
mechanisms that mediate masting events and link them to weather and plant resources are …

Intertidal wetlands such as saltmarshes and mangroves provide numerous important
ecological functions, though they are in rapid and global decline. To better conserve and …

Allee effects are (broadly) defined as a decline in individual fitness at low population size or
density. They can result in critical population thresholds below which populations crash to …

Background The rich literature that characterizes the field of pollination biology has focused
largely on animal-pollinated plants. At least 10% of angiosperms are wind pollinated, and …

Despite its importance for forest regeneration, food webs, and human economies, changes
in tree fecundity with tree size and age remain largely unknown. The allometric increase with …

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 …

In this paper, we review mate-finding Allee effects from ecological and evolutionary points of
view. We define 'mate-finding'as mate searching in mobile animals, and also as the meeting …

Evidence is mounting that evolutionary change can occur rapidly and may be an important
means by which species escape extinction in the face of global change. Consequently …

Current research, management and outreach programmes relevant to insect pollinator
conservation are strongly focused on relationships between pollinators and insect …

Habitat fragmentation poses a serious threat to plants through genetic changes associated
with increased isolation and reduced population size. However, the longevity of trees …
