Life History Evolution, Plants

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

For perennial plants, the analysis of evolutionarily stable strategies rooted in empirically parametrized models has allowed prediction of patterns of trait dynamics in natural populations. For monocarpic perennials, strong quantitative predictions about timing of flowering are possible given the simplicity of the core trade-off; for other traits, complexity in empirically describing trade-offs has restricted predictions to being more qualitative, yet these results have nevertheless advanced our understanding of the principles structuring traits in these systems.
