Effect of tree age on masting signal in tree-ring chronologies of beech in southern Sweden [PDF]

, 2023
Masting is a synchronous and highly variable production of seeds in tree species. Masting may reflect a reproduction strategy to cope with seed predation. In beech, temperature is the cue controlling annual variability in seeding. Masting behaviour in

Nature beyond Linearity: Meteorological Variability and Jensen's Inequality Can Explain Mast Seeding Behavior

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.

An Agronomic Approach to Pine Nut Production by Grafting Stone Pine on Two Rootstocks

Agriculture, 2021
Stone pine (Pinus pinea) grows in natural stands within the Mediterranean basin and its nut is highly appreciated for its nutritional profile. Nevertheless, a decline in this species due to biotic and abiotic damages is currently being clearly observed ...

How much do field mice prefer dwarf bamboo seeds? Two‐choice experiments between seeds of Sasa borealis and several tree species on the forest floor

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Bambusoideae is a taxon of mass‐flowering monocarpic perennials with a long life cycle. Forest ecosystems are affected by Bambusoideae seeding and death events in various ways, including an increased abundance of Apodemus spp.

Masting is uncommon in trees that depend on mutualist dispersers in the context of global climate and fertility gradients [PDF]

, 2023
The benefits of masting (volatile, quasi-synchronous seed production at lagged intervals) include satiation of seed predators, but these benefits come with a cost to mutualist pollen and seed dispersers.

The CV is dead, long live the CV!

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Biology has an increasing need to reconsider the tools used to assess the variability of measurements, in addition to their central tendency. More than 100 years after Pearson's publication, most biologists still use the “good old” Pearson's coefficient ...

Evolutionary ecology of masting: mechanisms, models, and climate change [PDF]

Many perennial plants show mast seeding, characterized by synchronous and highly variable reproduction across years. We propose a general model of masting, integrating proximate factors (environmental variation, weather cues, and resource budgets) with ...

Global patterns in the predator satiation effect of masting: A meta-analysis

, 2022
Predator satiation is the most commonly tested hypothesis that explains the evolutionary advantages of masting. It proposes that masting benefits plant reproduction by reducing the proportion of seed crop that is consumed by predators. This hypothesis is
