Abstract: The dynamics of reproductive allocation (RA) in herbaceous plant communities, particularly in response to varying environmental conditions such as drought stress and competitive interactions, remain underexplored. This study aims to fill this gap by hypothesising… read more here.

Abstract: Evolutionary fitness is determined by how an organism allocates energy, or other limited resources, to reproduction during its lifetime. For iteroparous organisms, two alternative patterns of lifetime reproductive allocation are terminal investment and reproductive restraint.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2022.1462
Abstract: Stressful environmental conditions can shape both an individual's phenotype and that of its offspring. However, little is known about transgenerational effects of chronic (as opposed to acute) stressors, nor whether these vary across the breeding… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12870-025-06855-6
Abstract: Background Global climate change has led to dynamic changes in snow and ice cover, exerting a profound impact on the functional traits and reproductive adaptation strategies of perennial plants in alpine meadows. However, the underlying… read more here.

DOI: 10.15244/pjoes/64240
Abstract: Plant invasion succeeds because of such invader characteristics as fecundity and high-efficiency multiple reproduction modes. The acquisition of individual resources and the benefits of individual fitness are driven by optimum patterns of life history and… read more here.
