Leaf dynamics in growth and reproduction of Xanthium canadense as influenced by stand density
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Leaf longevity is controlled by the light gradient in the canopy and also by the nitrogen (N) sink strength in the plant. Stand density may influence leaf dynamics through its effects on light gradient and on plant growth and reproduction. This study tests the hypothesis that the control by the light gradient is manifested more in the vegetative period, whereas the opposite ...
متن کاملEnergetics and reproductive effort.
Natural selection favors the optimal allocation of energy and other limiting resources to reproduction. Human reproductive physiology displays characteristic patterns that can be viewed as mechanisms that help optimize reproductive effort in the face of environmental energetic constraints. Female ovarian function is particularly sensitive to energy balance and energy flux, resulting in a synchr...
متن کاملStem extension and mechanical stability of Xanthium canadense grown in an open or in a dense stand.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Plants in open, uncrowded habitats typically have relatively short stems with many branches, whereas plants in crowded habitats grow taller and more slender at the expense of mechanical stability. There seems to be a trade-off between height growth and mechanical stability, and this study addresses how stand density influences stem extension and consequently plant safety mar...
متن کاملLifetime reproductive effort in humans.
Lifetime reproductive effort (LRE) measures the total amount of metabolized energy diverted to reproduction during the lifespan. LRE captures key components of the life history and is particularly useful for describing and comparing the life histories of different organisms. Given a simple energetic production constraint, LRE is predicted to be similar in value for very different life histories...
متن کاملTemperature, latitude and reproductive effort
The traditional IBP formulation of the energy budget is unsuitable for many marine organisms, partly because it sets production and respiration as alternative sinks when in reallty they are linked but also because it fails to recognise the heterogeneous nature of respiratory demand. The vanous components of total respiration reflect separate demands for ATP which are hkely to differ in their re...
