Does fruit size influence shoot structure across a latitudinal gradient in southern Japan?
Do flowers produce scent when they’re not expecting visitors?
The study demonstrates extensive variation in floral scent among populations of a geographically widespread species, Arabis alpina.
Burn it all down: leaf traits change more than species composition
In a fire-adapted ecosystem, increased fire frequency altered community composition and structure of the ecosystem through changes in the position of the shrub line.
Image analysis of phytoliths can tell grass species apart
Tiny stones created in plants can help identified which plants were found in past habitats.
Dimorphism in cleistogamous flowers in Portulaca oleracea
A trade-off between outcrossing and self-pollination is due to an interplay between genes and environment.
