Sexual systems in gymnosperms: a review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The aim of this study was to update figures for the presence of dioecy among the gymnosperms and investigate its correlation with climate, growth form, pollination and seed dispersal syndromes, and risk of extinction.

The consequences of monoecy and dioecy in congeneric species, and their implications for the evolution of dioecy in the genus Viscum

open access: yes, 2015
Two species of Viscum, the dioecious Viscum capense ssp capense and the monoecious Viscum rotundifolium , were compared in terms of their ecology, repioductive biology and genetics in order to determine some potential selective advantages of dioecy in ...

Inflorescences of Cliffortia L. (Rosaceae) and related vegetative branch­ing patterns

open access: yesBothalia: African Biodiversity & Conservation, 2003
The inflorescence construction of eight species, representative of the types found in the 119 species of the rosaceous genus Cliffortia L. is described, based on stereo microscopic examination of fresh and dried specimens, combined with extensive field ...

Evolutionary consequences of dioecy in angiosperms : the effects of breeding system on speciation and extinction rates

open access: yes, 2001
Dioecy, the breeding system with male and female function on separate individuals, may affect the ability of a lineage to avoid extinction or speciate.

Two in the bush: On the evolution, distribution and natural history of dioecy in Australian Solanum

open access: yes, 2006
The causes, consequences, and correlates of dioecy have been the subject of much discussion since the days of Charles Darwin\u27s work. Several more recent authors have stressed the importance of informing this body of theory with studies that focus on ...

DIOECY EFFECT ON GROWTH OF PLANTED Araucaria angustifolia Bert. O. Kuntze TREES

open access: yes, 2015
The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of dioecy on the growth in diameter at breast height (DBH), individual basal area, total height and individual volume of planted Araucaria angustifolia trees.

The influence of demography and local mating environment on sex ratios in a wind‐pollinated dioecious plant

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2013
Negative frequency‐dependent selection should result in equal sex ratios in large populations of dioecious flowering plants, but deviations from equality are commonly reported.

Functional dioecy in Gleditsia amorphoides (Fabaceae)

open access: yes, 2018
The genus Gleditsia (Fabaceae) comprises woody shrubs and trees that grow in temperate and subtropical regions around the world. This genus is characterised by sexual polymorphism and functionally unisexual flowers.

The evolution and maintenance of monoecy and dioecy in Sagittaria latifolia (Alismataceae)

open access: yes, 2003
The evolution of separate sexes (dioecy) from combined sexes (hermaphroditism) is a central problem in evolutionary biology. Determining the conditions under which unisexual individuals replace individuals with two sexual pathways to reproductive fitness
