Self-pollination and inbreeding depression in Acacia dealbata: Can selfing promote invasion in trees?

, 2013
The ability to self-fertilise may promote invasiveness in plants by assuring reproduction when mate and pollinator availabilities are inadequate, provided that the benefit of increased fecundity via selfing is not outweighed by inbreeding depression ...

Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...

Kin discrimination in plants: overview and implications for population and community ecology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Following the discovery of identity discrimination, particularly self and kin discrimination amongst plant competitors, research on interplant interactions has advanced significantly within plant physiology and evolutionary ecology. This review synthesizes current knowledge on how both self and kin discrimination influence plant growth ...

The Effects of Self-Pollination on Seed Development and the Process of Oil and Squalene Accumulation in Camellia oleifera

Liang you shipin ke-ji
Camellia oleifera is a self-incompatible plant. This study examined the effects of self-pollination on seed development, and the accumulation of oil and squalene in seeds using Yunyoucha No. 4, which has been widely cultivated-in Yunnan Province.

Drivers of Nature‐Related Investment Strategies Among Institutional Investors

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Institutional investors are increasingly responding to biodiversity loss through nature‐related investment strategies. Using survey data from 557 institutional investors, this study examines the drivers of strategy selection and how biodiversity risk is integrated across investor types, sizes, and regions.

Manual cross-pollination on the profitability of a pitaya orchard with self-compatible and self-incompatible species

Revista Agrogeoambiental
The high dependence on cross-pollination in self-incompatible pitaya species causes low productivity. The objective, with the accomplishment of this work, was to compare the profitability of the pitaya orchard with the management of manual cross ...
