Life-history trade-offs promote the evolution of dioecy.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Sept 2018

Dorken Marcel E, Van Drunen Wendy E

Abstract excerpt

Most dioecious plants are perennial and subject to trade-offs between sexual reproduction and vegetative performance. However, these broader life-history trade-offs have not usually been incorporated into theoretical analyses of the evolution of separate sexes. One such analysis has indicated that hermaphroditism is favoured over unisexuality when female and male sex functions involve the allocation of...
