--- res: bibo_abstract: - "* Understanding the mechanisms causing phenotypic differences between females and males has long fascinated evolutionary biologists. An extensive literature exists on animal sexual dimorphism but less information is known about sex differences in plants, particularly the extent of geographical variation in sexual dimorphism and its life‐cycle dynamics.\r\n* Here, we investigated patterns of genetically based sexual dimorphism in vegetative and reproductive traits of a wind‐pollinated dioecious plant, Rumex hastatulus, across three life‐cycle stages using open‐pollinated families from 30 populations spanning the geographic range and chromosomal variation (XY and XY1Y2) of the species.\r\n* The direction and degree of sexual dimorphism was highly variable among populations and life‐cycle stages. Sex‐specific differences in reproductive function explained a significant amount of temporal change in sexual dimorphism. For several traits, geographical variation in sexual dimorphism was associated with bioclimatic parameters, likely due to the differential responses of the sexes to climate. We found no systematic differences in sexual dimorphism between chromosome races.\r\n* Sex‐specific trait differences in dioecious plants largely result from a balance between sexual and natural selection on resource allocation. Our results indicate that abiotic factors associated with geographical context also play a role in modifying sexual dimorphism during the plant life‐cycle.@eng" bibo_authorlist: - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Gemma foaf_name: Puixeu Sala, Gemma foaf_surname: Puixeu Sala foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=33AB266C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 orcid: 0000-0001-8330-1754 - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Melinda foaf_name: Pickup, Melinda foaf_surname: Pickup foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=2C78037E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 orcid: 0000-0001-6118-0541 - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: David foaf_name: Field, David foaf_surname: Field orcid: 0000-0002-4014-8478 - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Spencer C.H. foaf_name: Barrett, Spencer C.H. foaf_surname: Barrett bibo_doi: 10.1111/nph.16050 bibo_issue: '3' bibo_volume: 224 dct_date: 2019^xs_gYear dct_identifier: - UT:000481376500001 dct_isPartOf: - http://id.crossref.org/issn/1469-8137 dct_language: eng dct_publisher: Wiley@ dct_title: 'Variation in sexual dimorphism in a wind-pollinated plant: The influence of geographical context and life-cycle dynamics@' ...
