Reproductive biology of two Lagenaria (Curcubitaceae) species
Botanica, 2022 The genus Lagenaria (Cucurbitaceae) members are underutilised, neglected and on the verge of being threatened to extinction. An investigation of their reproductive biology will serve as the basis for effective strategic planning towards their ...

Can Herbivore Feeding Preferences Reinforce the Female‐Biased Sex Ratio in an Alpine Willow? [PDF]
Ecol EvolSex‐biased herbivory can vary among co‐occurring herbivores and across the season. Sequential herbivory by species with different feeding preferences may influence the population dynamics of dioecious plants, particularly if early‐season herbivory alters plant traits that affect subsequent foraging decisions.

Terrestrial gastropods - how do they reproduce? [PDF]
Invertebrate Survival Journal, 2017 Molluscs are the most diverse group in respect of sexual systems and strategies. They can be dioecious with separate sexes or hermaphroditic. Within hermaphroditism, it is possible to distinguish a number of modifications of this type of reproduction ...

Molecular evidence for recent divergence of X- and Y-linked gene pairs in Spinacia oleracea L.
PLoS ONE, 2019 Dioecy has evolved recently and independently from cosexual populations in many angiosperm lineages, providing opportunities to understand the evolutionary process underlying this transition.

Notes on the floral sexuality of some species of the tree genus Triplaris (Polygonaceae)
Caldasia, 2021 The majority of angiosperms (~94 %) are synoecious, with only a small minority separating the pro-duction of the two gamete types onto different biological individuals (dioecy).

Pollination ecology of Litsea glutinosa (Lour.) C.B. Robinson (Lauraceae): A commercially and medicinally important semi-evergreen tree species [PDF]
Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2019 Litsea glutinosa is a semi-evergreen wet season blooming tree species. It is a dioecious plant characterized by separate staminate and pistillate trees occurring in a 3:1 ratio.

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 The mechanism behind the bud evolution towards breba or main crop in Ficus carica L. is uncertain. Anatomical and genetic studies may put a light on the possible similarities/differences between the two types of fruits.

A Global Analysis of the Distribution Patterns of Style-Length Polymorphisms Across Angiosperms. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study tested the tropicality‐ and diversity‐driven hypotheses to explain the global distribution of style‐length polymorphisms (SLP) in angiosperms. Phylogenetic logistic regression revealed that although SLP occurrence was associated with tropical regions, this pattern was driven by the predominantly tropical family Rubiaceae and disappeared once

Anatomy and fruit development in Schinopsis balansae (Anacardiaceae)
Anales del Jardín Botánico de Madrid, 2010 Schinopsis balansae Engl. is a dioecious tree; reproduction is by woody samaras containing a single seed. Fruit set is high, even in isolated trees, empty fruits are frequent and account for a high proportion of the total fruit production.

Altitudinal variation of the sex ratio and segregation by gender in the dioecious plant Mercurialis perennis L. (Euphorbiaceae) in Serbia [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2007 The sex ratio is one of the most intriguing problems for evolutionary biologists. Spatio-temporal variation of male frequency in sexually dimorphic plant species, spatial segregation, and differential investment of the two sex functions have attracted ...
