Qiaoqiao Huang; Martin Burd; Zhiwei Fan The American Naturalist 2017. doi:10.1086/692543
Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association Under density-independent growth pollen limitation increases optimal seed size.
- Observation Optimal seed size maximizes juvenile survival per resource invested per seed.
- 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 pollen limitation does not affect postbreeding survival allocation.
- Association Under density-dependent growth pollen limitation does not affect ovule production allocation.
