The effect of growth conditions on the seed size/number trade-off.

PloS one - 10 Sept 2009

Paul-Victor Cloé, Turnbull Lindsay A

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: If the amount of resources allocated to reproduction (K) is fixed, then an increase in seed mass (S) can only be achieved by a decrease in seed number (n = K/S). Thus, log(n) = log(K)-log(S) producing a slope of -1 when seed mass and number are plotted on log-log axes. However, in com...
