Plant-pollinator interactions in tropical lowland rain forests (TLRF) offer unique opportunities
to address several problems of current evolutionary and ecological interest. First …

Flower longevity the length of time an individual flower remains open in the field with a fresh-
appearing perianth, stigma, and stamens is important in understanding pollination ecology …

The supra-annual mast fruiting of dipterocarps, dominant trees of Far Eastern lowland rain

This volume deals with timbers of South-East Asia. The term'timber'is generally used for
wood other than fuelwood, following primary conversion, in forms suitable for construction …

To examine the interspecific reproductive synchrony of Dipterocarpaceae with vertebrate
responses to seed availablity, we monitored the spatiotemporal distribution and phenology …

In most self-incompatible (SI) plants, pollen tube growth in self-pollinated flowers is inhibited
on the stigma or in the style. SI systems that operate in the ovary have been assumed to be …

Research into the reproductive biology of crop plants has expanded greatly in recent years
and has lead to an increasing awareness of the importance of flowering, pollination, and fruit …

Sexual systems of tropical lowland rain forest trees were investigated to estimate the relative
proportions of hermaphroditic, monoecious, and dioecious species. Controlled hand …
