Evolutionary ecology of masting: mechanisms, models, and climate change

M Bogdziewicz, D Kelly, D Ascoli, T Caignard… - Trends in Ecology & …, 2024 - cell.com
Many perennial plants show mast seeding, characterized by synchronous and highly
variable reproduction across years. We propose a general model of masting, integrating …

Relatives reproduce in synchrony: kinship and individual condition shape intraspecific variation in masting phenotype

M Bogdziewicz, I Chybicki… - … of the Royal …, 2024 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Masting (synchronous and interannually variable seed production) is frequently called a
reproductive strategy; yet it is unclear whether the reproductive behaviour of individuals has …

Tail‐dependence of masting synchrony results in continent‐wide seed scarcity

J Szymkowiak, J Foest, A Hacket‐Pain… - Ecology …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Spatial synchrony may be tail‐dependent, meaning it is stronger for peaks rather than
troughs, or vice versa. High interannual variation in seed production in perennial plants …
