DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2022.0213
Abstract: In seasonal environments, the timing of reproduction often matches with the peak of food resources. One well-known effect of global warming is an earlier phenology of resources, leading to a possible mismatch between the timing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rstb.2020.0372
Abstract: Masting characterizes large, intermittent and highly synchronous seeding events among individual plants and is found throughout the plant Tree of Life (ToL). Although masting can increase plant fitness, little is known about whether it results… read more here.

Climate change and plant reproduction: trends and drivers of mast seeding change

DOI: 10.1098/rstb.2020.0379
Abstract: Climate change is reshaping global vegetation through its impacts on plant mortality, but recruitment creates the next generation of plants and will determine the structure and composition of future communities. Recruitment depends on mean seed… read more here.

Nature beyond Linearity: Meteorological Variability and Jensen's Inequality Can Explain Mast Seeding Behavior

DOI: 10.3389/fevo.2017.00134
Abstract: Mast seeding, the extremely variable and synchronised production of fruit, is a common reproductive behaviour in plants. Weather is centrally involved in driving masting. Yet, it is often claimed that it cannot be the sole… read more here.
