Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association Plant size accounted for 83% of the variation in log seed mass in Senecio vulgaris.
- Association Treatments not due to plant size accounted for an additional 9% of the variation in log seed mass.
- Intervention effect Treatments did not change the allometric exponent (slope) of reproductive allocation in Senecio vulgaris.
- Intervention effect Nutrient level had a small but significant effect on the allometric coefficient in a second experiment.
- Observation Plasticity in reproductive allocation of Senecio vulgaris exists but is very limited.
- Mechanism Environmental effects on reproductive output of S. vulgaris were suggested to occur via plant size.
