Seed mass, seed number and evolutionary trade off across geographic distribution: do they explain invasiveness in Eschscholzia californica, central Chile?
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
Background: Seed mass is a life history trait that is related to invasiveness. Under limiting conditions, a trade-off is observed whereby an increase in seed mass occurs at the expense of seed numbers; if the above trade-off ...
Reproductive strategy of Copaifera langsdorffii (Fabaceae): more seeds or better seeds?

Seed mass, seed number and evolutionary trade-off across geographic distribution: do they explain invasiveness in Eschscholzia californica, central Chile?
(2017)
Background: Seed mass is a life history trait that is related to invasiveness. Under limiting conditions, a trade-off is observed whereby an increase in seed mass occurs at the expense of seed numbers; if the above trade-off ...
Females of the weevil Zabrotes subfasciatus manipulate the size and number of eggs according to the host seed availability
(WILEY-BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, INC, 2009)
In some insects, the finding of oviposition substrate triggers the uptake into oocytes of yolk proteins that are stored in the fat body during post-embryonic development. The main host of the bean weevil Zabrotes subfasciatus ...
The influences of progenitor filtering, domestication selection and the boundaries of nature on the domestication of grain crops
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-06)
Domestication generally involves two sequential processes: initial identification of wild species with desirable characteristics (‘progenitor filtering’) and subsequent artificial and natural selection that, respectively, ...
Symbiotic interactions as drivers of trade-offs in plants: effects of fungal endophytes on tall fescue
(Springer, 2013-03-24)
Studying the controls on biomass allocation trade-offs in plants are important since they affect harvestable product yields and are critical to understanding symbiotic interactions. Epichloae fungal endophytes associate ...
Limits to reproduction and seed size-number tradeoffs that shape forest dominance and future recovery
(Nature, 2022)
The relationships that control seed production in trees are key to understand evolutionary pressures that have shaped forests. A global synthesis of fecundity data reveals that while seed production is not constrained by ...
