Measuring the effect of environmental stress on inbreeding depression alone obscures the relative importance of inbreeding–stress interactions on overall fitness in Callosobruchus maculatus

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, Volume 13, Issue 10, Page 2597-2609, December 2020., 2020
Abstract Environmental stress can have a profound effect on inbreeding depression. Quantifying this effect is of particular importance in threatened populations, which are often simultaneously subject to both inbreeding and environmental stress. But while the prevalence of inbreeding–stress interactions is well known, the importance and broader ...

Amphicarpic plants: definition, ecology, geographic distribution, systematics, life history, evolution and use in agriculture

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 95, Issue 5, Page 1442-1466, October 2020., 2020
ABSTRACT Although most plants produce all of their fruits (seeds) aboveground, amphicarpic species produce fruits (seeds) both above‐ and belowground. Our primary aims were to determine the number of reported amphicarpic species and their taxonomic, geographic, life form and phylogenetic distribution, to evaluate differences in the life history of ...
