  bibo_abstract:
  - Sexual dimorphism in resource allocation is expected to change during the life
    cycle of dioecious plants because of temporal differences between the sexes in
    reproductive investment. Given the potential for sex-specific differences in reproductive
    costs, resource availability may contribute to variation in reproductive allocation
    in females and males. Here, we used Rumex hastatulus, a dioecious, wind-pollinated
    annual plant, to investigate whether sexual dimorphism varies with life-history
    stage and nutrient availability, and determine whether allocation patterns differ
    depending on reproductive commitment. To examine if the costs of reproduction
    varied between the sexes, reproduction was either allowed or prevented through
    bud removal, and biomass allocation was measured at maturity. In a second experiment
    to assess variation in sexual dimorphism across the life cycle, and whether this
    varied with resource availability, plants were grown in high and low nutrients
    and allocation to roots, aboveground vegetative growth and reproduction were measured
    at three developmental stages. Males prevented from reproducing compensated with
    increased above- and belowground allocation to a much larger degree than females,
    suggesting that male reproductive costs reduce vegetative growth. The proportional
    allocation to roots, reproductive structures and aboveground vegetative growth
    varied between the sexes and among life-cycle stages, but not with nutrient treatment.
    Females allocated proportionally more resources to roots than males at peak flowering,
    but this pattern was reversed at reproductive maturity under low-nutrient conditions.
    Our study illustrates the importance of temporal dynamics in sex-specific resource
    allocation and provides support for high male reproductive costs in wind-pollinated
    plants.@eng
