The Evolutionary Dynamics of Conflicts of Interest in Plant Mating Systems
The diversity of flowering plants -angiosperms- on planet Earth is nearly matched by the diversity of mating systems and floral traits they exhibit. Since Darwin evolutionary biologists have been fascinated by this diversity and worked to explain and understand it. In this thesis I focus on aspects …

Dioecious Plants: Evolution And Sex Ratio And Asepen Decline
… ratios. We also looked at the role incestuous matings, seed and pollen dispersal patterns, and compensation play in the evolution of this sexual system using two theoretical models we developed. Finally, we studied aspen populations in the Midwest to determine how climate variables affect …

Restoration genetics of Murray Mallee and neotropical forests.
… Habitat fragmentation can alter the mating patterns of individual trees by changing pollination dynamics (e.g. levels of selfing, pollen diversity) and these mating patterns directly influence the genetic makeup of progeny. Tree progeny are predicted to be particularly sensitive to …
