BookDOI
Gender and sexual dimorphism in flowering plants
TL;DR: A review of the evolution of Dioecy can be found in this paper, where a review of Terminology, Biogeographic patterns, Ecological Correlates, and Phylogenetic Approaches are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the Importance of Male Fitness in Plants: Patterns of Fruit-Set
Steve Sutherland,Lynda F. Delph +1 more
TL;DR: The male function hypothesis predicts a lower fruit-to-flower ratio for hermaphrodites as compared to monoecious or dioecious plants, and the self-incompatibility hypothesis is tested and rejected on the basis of fruit-set patterns in self-Incompatibility andromonoecious species.
Book ChapterDOI
Sexual Dimorphism in Life History
TL;DR: Life-history theory revolves around the idea that various activities, such as growth, maintenance, and reproduction, compete for limited resources, and hence, current reproduction may lead to a reduction in growth and survival, and consequently a reduce in future reproduction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex-Differential Resource Allocation Patterns in the Subdioecious Shrub Hebe Subalpina
TL;DR: Differences in vegetation growth and sexual reproduction suggest that divergent selection has been operating on the morphs since the evolution of subdioecy (via gynodioecY) from cosexuality in Hebe, and may be related to differences in the relative fitness gains to the Morphs through pollen vs. seeds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extensive variation in synonymous substitution rates in mitochondrial genes of seed plants
Jeffrey P. Mower,Jeffrey P. Mower,Pascal Touzet,Julie S Gummow,Lynda F. Delph,Jeffrey D. Palmer +5 more
TL;DR: The extremes of synonymous substitution rates measured here constitute by far the largest known range of rate variation for any group of organisms and highlight the utility of examining absolute substitution rates in a phylogenetic context rather than by traditional pairwise methods.
