Journal ArticleDOI
Population density, outcrossing rate, and heterozygote superiority in ponderosa pine.
TL;DR: Four correlations are shown to be consistent with evolutionary models of optimal allocation of resources to male and female functions, providing evidence that selection on sex allocation in hermaphrodites is governed by the same principles as selection on the sex ratio.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional Interactions among Traits that Determine Reproductive Success in a Native Annual Plant
TL;DR: The utility of an inductive approach in analyzing the actual, functional pathways by which diverse traits influence growth and reproduction at the whole plant level is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of rock climbing on the vegetation of three Minnesota cliff systems
TL;DR: While human impact decreased vegetation frequency and cover on these cliffs, identification ofFragile forms, such as umbilicate and fruticose lichens, were especially sensitive to human disturbance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variation in methylglucosinolate and insect damage toCleome serrulata (Capparaceae) along a natural soil moisture gradient.
TL;DR: The outcome strongly suggests that environmentally related variation in secondary compound concentration along environmental gradients can mediate and influence host-plant population abundance and distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative genetic variation and natural selection in Cleome serrulata growing along a mild soil moisture gradient
TL;DR: Viability selection on the four characters was similar in the wet and dry subpopulations, with faster heigh...
