Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This analysis is the first to describe patterns of species characteristics and habitat vulnerability for a single biome, and shows that a broad niche is typical of naturalized plant species, regardless of their geographical area of origin, leading to potential for high homogenization within each region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seed dormancy in Mediterranean Senecio vulgaris L.
Z. Ren,Richard J. Abbott +1 more
TL;DR: The innate dormancy exhibited by seed of non-radiate Mediterranean S. vulgaris, enables the species to adopt a winter annual life cycle which is typical of Mediterranean ephemerals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Revisiting a Key Innovation in Evolutionary Biology: Felsenstein’s “Phylogenies and the Comparative Method”
TL;DR: A personal review of comparative biology before, during, and after Joe’s article is presented, which append a perspective written by Joe himself that describes how his article evolved, unedited transcripts of reviews of his submitted manuscript, and a guide to some nontrivial calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of competition on growth and form in Glechoma hederacea
TL;DR: Morphological responses to competition were analysed in Glechoma hederacea, a clonal herb with plagiotropic shoots, and each primary stolon behaved as an integrated physiological unit, developing a morphology appropriate for the conditions in which it was growing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal changes in leaf nutritional quality influence grass miner performance
TL;DR: This hypothesis predicts that phytophagous insects should prefer and perform better on phenologically young plants than on old plants because plant nutritional quality decreases with plant phenological age.
