- Association Under density-independent growth pollen limitation increases optimal seed size.
- Association Pollen limitation decreases overall reproductive allocation.
- Association Pollen limitation increases optimal allocation to postbreeding adult survival under density-independent growth.
- Association Under density-dependent growth optimal seed size is inversely proportional to ovule fertilization rate.
- Association Under density-dependent growth pollen limitation does not affect postbreeding survival allocation.
- Association Under density-dependent growth pollen limitation does not affect ovule production allocation.
