A study to investigate the role of population sex ratio in gender switching in an A. Triphyllum population along with the role of different environmental factors and management activities on plant size and population sex ratio in two different populations
Interactions with pollinators are thought to be a major driver of the evolution and diversification of angiosperms, yet questions remain about how pollinators mediate plant divergence at early stages and across entire species distributions. Here, I address this knowledge gap using two study groups in the recently-radiating and florally diverse...
Genetic factors such as loss of genetic diversity, mutations, and inbreeding depression can increase a populations chances of extinction, therefore it is important to understand how these factors can contribute to populations decline. Among the genetic factors that can contribute to populations extinction, inbreeding depression is the only one that...
Plant life history traits influence the extent and degree of gene flow across a species range. The resulting genetic neighborhood size can influence population differentiation and the scale of local adaptation, with implications for species response to environmental change and sourcing of plant materials for ecological restoration. To assess the...
