Journal ArticleDOI
The maintenance of species-richness in plant communities: the importance of the regeneration niche
TL;DR: It is shown that when an individual dies, it may or may not be replaced by an individual of the same species, which is all‐important to the argument presented.

The ecology of seeds
Michael Fenner,Ken Thompson +1 more
TL;DR: This work has shown clear trends in the dispersal and regeneration of seeds in disturbed areas, and these trends are likely to continue into the next decade.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparative study of germination characteristics in a local flora
TL;DR: Under constant temperature conditions, the majority of grasses, legumes and composites germinated over a wide range of temperature, and the same feature was evident in species of ubiquitous or southern distribution in the British Isles.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Day in the Life of a Seed: Movements and Fates of Seeds and Their Implications for Natural and Managed Systems
TL;DR: A model that outlines the movements and fates of seeds after they leave the parent plant is developed, and the relative influences of abiotic and biotic factors are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolutionary bet-hedging in the real world: empirical evidence and challenges revealed by plants
TL;DR: The essential theory of bet-hedging is outlined, reiterating the important distinction between conservative and diversified bet- hedging strategies, and the central role that model-based approaches can play.
