Pollen limitation of native plant reproduction in an urban landscape

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 109, Issue 12, Page 1969-1980, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Premise Evidence suggests that bees may benefit from moderate levels of human development. However, the effects of human development on pollination and reproduction of bee‐pollinated plants are less‐well understood. Studies have measured natural variation in pollination and plant reproduction as a function of urbanization, but few have ...

The Economic Dimension Of Demographic Transition

open access: yesJournal of Geography, 1973

Functional traits mediate individualistic species‐environment distributions at broad spatial scales while fine‐scale species associations remain unpredictable

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 109, Issue 12, Page 1991-2005, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Premise Numerous processes influence plant distributions and co‐occurrence patterns, including ecological sorting, limiting similarity, and stochastic effects. To discriminate among these processes and determine the spatial scales at which they operate, we investigated how functional traits and phylogenetic relatedness influence the ...
