¿Por qué la producción de semillas es tan variable en las especies mediterráneas de Quercus?

Understanding the proximate factors that govern the widespread mast-seeding process (i.e., the large interannual variability in seed production) is a question of considerable ecological and evolutionary interest that remains poorly understood. The identity and effect of these factors may vary among coexisting species that differ in leaf habit, potentially resulting in temporally asynchronous patterns of […]

Nuevos avances en el conocimiento de las causas y consecuencias del fenómeno de vecería en especies de Quercus

Most of Mediterranean woody plant species, such as Quercus, exhibit a large interannual variability in seed production (a broadly-known phenomenon called masting), with important differences among individuals within the same year. However, very little is known about the causes and consequences for population dynamics of this potentially large – often ignored – between-individual variability.
