Because of its presumed high levels of dioecy (separate male and female plants), study of
the native Hawaiian angiosperm flora has been important in development of many …

The angiosperm flora of the Hawaiian Islands, with its high incidence of dioecy, has been
central in development of hypotheses about the evolution of dioecy. Based on a recent …

Premise of research. Because it is an inherently risky sexual system, dioecy is globally rare.
Attempts to explain unusually high incidences of dioecy on certain islands have generated a …

The evolution of separate sexes as a means of avoiding self‐fertilization requires the
controversial coexistence of large inbreeding depression and high selfing rate in the …

The high frequency of dioecy on oceanic islands such as Hawaii and New Zealand has
attracted a great deal of attention from plant evolutionary biologists. One reason suggested …

Breeding systems in Schiedea and Alsinidendron (Caryophyllaceae: Alsinoideae) were
characterized in order to determine whether the dioecy that occurs in Schiedea evolved in …

The current high islands of the Hawaiian archipelago are among the most remote land
masses in the world. They lie 3500 km from California, the nearest continental source, and …

The association between dioecy and generalist mode of pollination suggested about 20
years ago has been recently questioned. It is argued that there is evidence to indicate that a …

examine the in the Hawaiian islands. Of 1782 patterns of endemism in Hawaiian marine …

Dioecy is reported to be correlated with a number of ecological traits, including tropical
distribution, woody growth form, plain flowers, and fleshy fruits. Previous analyses have …
