Question: How does habitat degradation affect recruitment limitation and its components
(seed limitation versus establishment limitation) of woody plant communities in a …

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Epigenetic variation can play a role in local adaptation; thus,
there should be associations among epigenetic variation, environmental variation, and …

Anthropogenic habitat alteration may affect the dispersal service provided by avian seed
dispersers, ultimately causing regeneration collapse, through a decay in both the …

Based on niche theory, recruitment limitation is to discuss population regeneration through
the population demographic characteristics in different life stages, such as seed …

Este artículo analiza la dinámica espacio-temporal de la regeneración natural de Pinus
nigra subsp. salzmannii en la sierra de Cazorla (sureste de España), y trata de determinar si …

Population shrinkage of alpine cushion plants with ongoing climate warming has been
empirically confirmed. Since cushion plants play important roles in sustaining alpine plant …

Forests of Pinus nigra subsp. salzmannii (Pinus nigra hereafter) cover about half a million
hectares of pure stands in Eastern Spain and Southern France. They have been felled for …

This study assesses the dispersal mechanisms of the narrow endemic Polygala vayredae,
analysing the functioning of its dispersal syndromes (anemochory and myrmecochory), the …

Specialized myrmecochorous plants bear an elaiosome attached to the seed. Ants benefit
from food provided by this appendage and plants get their seeds eventually dispersed …

Conflicts of selection on diaspore traits throughout the dispersal cycle can limit the
evolutionary consequences of seed dispersal. However, these conflicts have never been …
