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

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
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 …
