Ecosphere, 2021 Masting, a large interannual variation of reproductive investment spatially synchronized within perennial plants, is an important factor for understanding the use and storage of carbon and nutrient resources in various forest ecosystems.

Ecosphere, 2023 Pest animal populations, such as rodents, often irrupt in response to pulsed resources. However, few studies have considered how understanding the propagation of irruptions across landscapes could lead to more efficient pest suppression.

Forestry Research, 2021 Although mature trees have substantial non-structural carbohydrate (NSC) storage that is well documented with respect to its capacity to buffer the asynchrony of supply and demand at the whole-plant level, its role in reproduction remains poorly ...

Nutrient scarcity as a selective pressure for mast seeding [PDF]
Nature Plants, 2019 Mast seeding is one of the most intriguing reproductive traits in nature. Despite its potential drawbacks in terms of fitness, the widespread existence of this phenomenon suggests that it should have evolutionary advantages under certain circumstances.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2017 Mast seeding, the extremely variable and synchronized production of fruits, is a common reproductive behavior in plants. Weather is centrally involved in driving masting.

Masting uncoupling: mast seeding does not follow all mast flowering episodes in a dioecious juniper tree [PDF]
Oikos, 2012 Evolutionary selective forces, like predator satiation and pollination efficiency, are acknowledged to be major causes of masting (the variable, periodic and synchronic production of seeds in a population). However, a number of recent studies indicate that resources might also play an important role on shaping masting patterns ...

Reply to: Nutrient scarcity cannot cause mast seeding [PDF]
Nature Plants, 2020 Kelly's commentary regarding our paper1, claiming that nutrient scarcity cannot select for masting behaviour in plants, initiated a fruitful discussion on traditionally settled hypotheses about the evolution of reproductive behaviour in plants. In his commentary, Prof.

Journal of Threatened Taxa, 2023 Tabernaemontana rotensis (Kaneh.) P.T. Li is an attractive small tree that is endemic to the islands of Guam and Rota. Conservation efforts of the threatened population are constrained by lack of research.
