Dioecy in the Caatinga, a Brazilian tropical dry forest: typical reproductive traits of a low frequent sexual system

2014-06-01

Abstract excerpt

Dioecy is a rare sexual system among angiosperms whose occurrence and frequency depend on the kind and geographical location of the ecosystem. We evaluate the frequency of dioecy in the Caatinga, a special semi-arid vegetation type in Brazil. We compare the floral traits and other ecological characteristics usually related to dioecy between the Caatinga and other tropical ecosystems. Dioecious species of the Caati...
