Previous-year reproduction reduces photosynthetic capacity and slows lifetime growth in females of a neotropical tree.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 25 May 2004

Wheelwright Nathaniel T, Logan Barry A

Abstract excerpt

Females of dioecious plant species typically invest more in reproduction than males because they produce seeds, fruits, and associated structures in addition to flowers. If females are unable to compensate by up-regulating rates of photosynthesis or by reproducing less frequently than males, their greater reproductive investment may result in reduced growth or higher mortality. Here we provide evidence of the...
