Previous-year reproduction reduces photosynthetic capacity and slows lifetime growth in females of a neotropical tree.
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 ...
متن کاملEffects of maternal care on the lifetime reproductive success of females in a neotropical harvestman.
1. Few studies have experimentally quantified the costs and benefits of female egg-guarding behaviour in arthropods under field conditions. Moreover, there is also a lack of studies assessing separately the survival and fecundity costs associated with this behavioural trait. 2. Here we employ field experimental manipulations and capture-mark-recapture methods to identify and quantify the costs ...
متن کاملCoordination between water-transport efficiency and photosynthetic capacity in canopy tree species at different growth irradiances.
Plasticity in hydraulic architecture of five dominant Atlantic forest species differing in light requirements and growth rates was evaluated in saplings grown at different irradiances to determine if hydraulic architecture changes in coordination with photosynthetic capacity. Saplings were grown in shade-houses at 10, 30, 45 and 65% of full solar irradiance for 4 months. In four of the five spe...
متن کاملLifetime Prevalence of Abortion in 15-50 Year-Old Females in Tehran and Its Predictors; A Population-Based Cross-Sectional Study
Background and Objectives: Using a random sample of women aged 15 to 50 years in Tehran, this study sought to estimate the lifetime prevalence of abortion (intentional and unintentional) and to identify its associated factors. Materials and Methods: The control data of a population-based case-control study conducted in 2014 in Tehran was used in the present study. Data from 544 randomly sel...
متن کاملa contrastive analysis of concord and head parameter in english and azerbaijani
این پایان نامه به بررسی و مقایسه دو موضوع مطابقه میان فعل و فاعل (از نظر شخص و مشار) و هسته عبارت در دو زبان انگلیسی و آذربایجانی می پردازد. اول رابطه دستوری مطابقه مورد بررسی قرار می گیرد. مطابقه به این معناست که فعل مفرد به همراه فاعل مفرد و فعل جمع به همراه فاعل جمع می آید. در انگلیسی تمام افعال، بجز فعل بودن (to be) از نظر شمار با فاعلشان فقط در سوم شخص مفرد و در زمان حال مطابقت نشان میدهند...
