Reversal of height dimorphism promotes pollen and seed dispersal in a wind-pollinated dioecious plant.
Variation in the timing of reproductive functions in dioecious organisms may result in adaptive changes in the direction of sexual dimorphism during the breeding season. For plants in which both pollen and seeds are wind-dispersed, it may be advantageous for male plants to be taller when pollen is dispersed and female plants to be taller when seeds are dispersed. We examined the dynamics of hei...
متن کاملPollen Dispersal in Fragmented Populations of the Dioecious Wind-Pollinated Tree, Allocasuarina verticillata (Drooping Sheoak, Drooping She-Oak; Allocasuarinaceae)
Vegetation clearing, land modification and agricultural intensification have impacted on many ecological communities around the world. Understanding how species respond to fragmentation and the scales over which functionality is retained, can be critical for managing biodiversity in agricultural landscapes. Allocasuarina verticillata (drooping sheoak, drooping she-oak) is a dioecious, wind-poll...
متن کاملFloral dimorphism in plant populations with combined versus separate sexes.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Dimorphism among floral traits can evolve through variation in selection intensity between female and male performance, especially when sex functions are separated between flowers on a plant (monoecy), or between individuals (dioecy). In animal-pollinated species, male floral traits are predicted to be larger because competition for pollinators should favour larger displays....

متن کاملSize advantage for male function and size‐dependent sex allocation in Ambrosia artemisiifolia, a wind‐pollinated plant
In wind-pollinated plants, male-biased sex allocation is often positively associated with plant size and height. However, effects of size (biomass or reproductive investment) and height were not separated in most previous studies. Here, using experimental populations of monoecious plants, Ambrosia altemisiifolia, we examined (1) how male and female reproductive investments (MRI and FRI) change ...
