Dioecious plants exhibit sexual dimorphism in both sexual features (reproductive organs)
and secondary sex characteristics (vegetative traits). Sexual differences in secondary traits …

Plant modularity-related traits are important ecological determinants of vegetation
composition, dynamics, and resilience. While simple changes in plant biomass resulting …

Sex-related differences in reproductive effort can lead to differences in vegetative growth
and stress tolerance. However, do all dioecious plants show sex-related differences in stress …

Aquatic Dicotyledons of North America: Ecology, Life History, and Systematics brings
together a wealth of information on the natural history, ecology, and systematics of North …

Understanding the impact of grazing intensity on grassland production and soil fertility is of
fundamental importance for grassland conservation and management. We thus compared …

Salicaceae plants are dioecious woody plants. Previous studies have shown that male
individuals are more tolerant to water deficiency than females for male‐biased poplars …

Sexual dimorphism in resource allocation is expected to change during the life cycle of
dioecious plants because of temporal differences between the sexes in reproductive …

Sexual dimorphism in secondary traits (differences between the sexes in characteristics
others 12 than the sexual organs) is widespread in plants (Geber and Dawson, 1999; Barrett …

Sex-related differences in sex ratio, growth, and herbivory are widely documented in many
dioecious plants. The common pattern is for males to grow faster than females and to be less …

Environmental changes, eg, eutrophication, in aquatic ecosystems can greatly alter light
available to submerged macrophytes. In dioecious plants, given potential for sex-specific …
