In hermaphrodites, the allocation of resources to each sex function can influence fitness
through mating success. A prediction that arises from sex allocation theory is that in wind …

Sexual selection may contribute to the evolution of plant sexual dimorphism by favoring
architectural traits in males that improve pollen dispersal to mates. In both sexes, larger …

The adaptive significance of phenotypic differences between females and males can
provide insights into sex‐specific selection and the evolution of sexual dimorphism …

Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri S. Watson), a dioecious wind-pollinated plant, is one
of the most troublesome crop weeds in the United States and is spreading northward. The …

Urbanization produces similar environmental changes across cities relative to their
neighboring rural environments. However, there may be high environmental heterogeneity …

Abstract Knowledge of the impacts of sex on plant mortality and biomass production has
scientific and practical importance. In the case of willows, we know relatively little about such …

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 …

Analyzing the ecological strategies of reproductive individuals under grazing stress is a key
factor in understanding the adaptation and maintenance mechanisms of populations in …

Abstract Background and Aims Since pollen flow or seed dispersal can contribute to
transgene persistence in the environment, the sympatric presence of transgenic crops with …

Premise Variation in local density and sex ratio in dioecious plants can affect mating
success through the actions of pollen vectors, principally generalist insects or wind …
