Variation in selfing rates within and among populations of hermaphroditic flowering plants
can strongly influence the evolution of reproductive strategies and the genetic structure of …

Plant sexual systems play an important role in the evolution of angiosperm diversity.
However, large-scale patterns in the frequencies of sexual systems (ie dioecy, monoecy …

Geographical limits of species' distributions are assumed to be coincident with ecological
margins, although this assumption might not always be true. Indeed, harsh environments …

Mating systems in angiosperms range from obligate outcrossing to highly self‐fertilizing. The
belief that obligate selfing does not exist is contradicted by genetic evidence in several …

The mating system of plants widely distributed can change in native range but also in non-
native habitats. Oenothera drummondii, native to the coastal dunes of the Gulf of Mexico …

Climate can affect plant populations through direct effects on physiology and fitness, and
through indirect effects on their relationships with pollinating mutualists. We therefore expect …

Every species experiences limits to its geographic distribution on the landscape. Sometimes
the barriers that limit geographic ranges are obvious. For example, oceans and topographic …

Genetic factors such as loss of genetic diversity, mutations, and inbreeding depression can
increase a populations chances of extinction, therefore it is important to understand how …
