Despite the typically low population densities and animal-mediated pollination of tropical
forest trees, outcrossing and long-distance pollen dispersal are the norm. We reviewed the …

It is estimated that around half of all species of flowering plants show self‐incompatibility
(SI). However, the great majority of species alleged to have SI simply comply with 'the …

In this report, self-sterility in Camellia oleifera was explored by comparing structural and
statistical characteristics following self-pollination (SP) and cross-pollination (CP). Although …

Plant self-incompatibility (SI) is of great significance in reproductive biology and is also the
main factor affecting yield in agricultural production. Late-acting self-incompatibility (LSI) is …

Gene dispersal processes shape demographic and microevolutionary dynamics of tree
species. Gene dispersal patterns can be studied by spatially explicit methods. Spatial …

Based on previous studies, extreme (> 99%) self‐sterility in scarlet gilia (Ipomopsis
aggregata) appears to be involved in late‐acting ovarian self‐incompatibility (OSI). Here, we …

For many tree species, mating system analyses have indicated potential variations in the
selfing rate and paternity correlation among fruits within individuals, among individuals …

The reproductive biology of Xanthoceras sorbifolia, an energy crop, was investigated
through field observation, artifical pollination, anatomical techniques and fluorescence …

Studies concerning reproductive biology at the community level have not yet been reported
for Caatinga. In this study, we analyzed the flowering phenology, floral longevity, and …

Abstract The Organization for Tropical Studies (OTS) has played a pivotal role in our
understanding of tropical ecosystems' structure and function. For more than fifty years, OTS …
