Previous ecological studies of dioecious plant species have found that female plants preferentially occur at lower altitudes where there are typically better nutritional conditions, while male plants often occur in less favorable sites.

Evolutionary transitions from dioecy to functional hermaphroditism must overcome the inertia of sexual dimorphism because modified males or females will express the opposite sexual function for which their phenotypes have been optimized.

Sexual Structure of Potentilla bifurca L. Coenopopulations in the Altay-Sayan Mountain Region [PDF]
Sexual structure of 47 populations of dioecious Potentilla bifurca in the steppe, forest-steppe and alpine zones in the six provinces of the Altai-Sayan mountain region was studied. Based on the sexual spectrum the populations were divided into two types:

Ecological Correlates with Dioecy in the Flora of a Tropical Premontane Wet Forest in Costa Rica.
There is a considerable disagreement about the selective forces that have led to the evolution of dioecy (i.e., the condition of having separate male and female flowers on separate plants).

Functional dioecy in Nothapodytes nimmoniana, a distylous species in the Western Ghats
Nothapodytes nimmoniana (Icacinaceae) is a subcanopy tree species, commercially exploited for its wood chips that yield an anti-tumour alkaloid. The species displays intriguing sexual variation. Apart from the flowers which are comparable to typical

Reproductive biology of Hechtia schottii, a dioecious Bromeliaceae, in Mexico
Hechtia schottii is a terrestrial, rosetofilous, dioecious, polycarpic succulent herb, that grows mainly in shrubby associations, and less frequently, in secondary low caducifolious forests, both on calcareous soils or limestone outcrops in Yucatan and ...
