Other claims from this paper (7)
- Association No intra-annual trade-off between reproduction and foliage biomass was found in either sex of either Rhamnus species at any modular level.
- Association Inter-annual trade-offs between reproduction and foliage biomass were detected in females of both Rhamnus species.
- Association In R. schneideri females, inter-annual trade-offs existed at all three modular levels.
- Association In R. davurica females, evidence of inter-annual trade-offs was detected only at branch level.
- Observation At the population level, the sex ratio of Rhamnus was female-biased in 2010.
- Observation In R. davurica, the sex ratio did not significantly deviate from 1:1 in 2011.
- Observation In R. schneideri, the sex ratios were significantly female-biased in both 2010 and 2011.
