Abstract Background and Aims Gynodioecy is a phylogenetically widespread and important
sexual system where females coexist with hermaphrodites. Because dioecy can arise from …

Abstract Background and Aims Gynodioecy (coexistence of females and hermaphrodites) is
a sexual system that occurs in numerous flowering plant lineages. Thus, understanding the …

Resources, sex ratio, and seed production by hermaphrodites covary among natural
populations of many gynodioecious plant species, such that they are functionally “more …

Sex-allocation plasticity is thought to play an important role in the evolution of separate
sexes in plants. Accordingly, much attention has been paid to environmentally induced …

Gynodioecious plants exhibit modest sexual dimorphism in vegetative and phenological
traits, which stands in stark contrast to pronounced dimorphism in reproductive traits. I …

Gynodioecy, the coexistence of females and hermaphrodites, occurs in 20% of angiosperm
families and often enables transitions between hermaphroditism and dioecy. Clarifying …

In this study we dissect the causes of variation in intra‐inflorescence allocation in a sexually
polymorphic species, Fragaria virginiana. We separated out the effects of resource …

One evolutionary pathway from plants with combined male and female functions
(hermaphroditism) to those with separate sexes (dioecy) involves females coexisting with …

The selective maintenance of gynodioecy depends on the relative fitness of the male‐sterile
(female) and hermaphroditic morphs. Females may compensate for their loss of male fitness …

Studies of reproductive isolation are important for understanding speciation and species
delimitation. We studied seven components of reproductive isolation at different taxonomic …
