The outcome of plant-animal interactions in dioecious plant species frequently depends on the gender of the plant individuals. It has even been proposed that these interactions could mediate the evolution of plant reproductive systems from hermaphroditism to dioecy. Gynodioecy is the most frequent intermediate stage in this evolutionary process, however, little is known about the relevance of g...

Abstract Diminished reproduction success in species with narrow distribution ranges might be one of the factors responsible for their limited dispersal and colonization abilities. We investigated here various aspects seed biology West Carpathian endemic Daphne arbuscula (Thymelaeaceae) compared it its more widespread relative D. cneorum . In both species, we (i) differences viability germinatio...

Survival of Darwin's finches through a drought on Daphne Major Island was nonrandom. Large birds, especially males with large beaks, survived best because they were able to crack the large and hard seeds that predominated in the drought. Selection intensities, calculated by O'Donald's method, are the highest yet recorded for a vertebrate population.

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Ten microsatellite markers were developed and characterized in a gynodioecious summer-deciduous shrub, Daphne jezoensis, to facilitate studies of the evolution of gynodioecy in the species. • METHODS AND RESULTS We used a next-generation sequencing approach with the Ion Personal Genome Machine (PGM) system to identify and develop microsatellite markers with ...
