Interactions between habitat and ungulate herbivory limit the spread of Ipomopsis aggregata (polemoniaceae)
… on the fitness of a monocarpic wildflower, scarlet gilia (Ipomopsis aggregata) to further elucidate reasons for its absence in nutrient rich montane meadows in Flagstaff, AZ. Scarlet gilia is commonly found on slopes with disturbed and relatively nutrient poor soil. Using transplant …

Overcompensation of Ipomopsis aggregata following ungulate herbivory: getting to the root of it
… A long-term study of the monocarpic biennial, scarlet gilia, Ipomopsis aggregata, showed that ungulate herbivory by mule deer and elk can result in a three-fold increase in plant fitness. We hypothesized that fungal associations would facilitate the compensatory response most commonly observed …

Functional genomics of plant compensatory responses
… aboveground biomass of the monocarpic biennial scarlet gilia, Ipomopsis aggregata, the lifetime seed production, seed germination, and seedling survival averaged 3.0 times that of uneaten controls (Paige 1992, 1994, 1999). Despite evidence that genetic variation for tolerance exists, the …

The adaptive potential of plant endopolyploidy in response to herbivory
… above-ground biomass of the monocarpic biennial scarlet gilia, Ipomopsis aggregata, the product of lifetime seed production, seed germination, and seedling survival averaged 3.0 times that of uneaten controls (see also Paige 1992, 1994, 1999). The increase in relative fitness was largely due to …
