Reproductive ecology of tropical forest plants

Reproductive ecology of tropical plants reproductive rhythms - plant phenology - phenological behaviour - phenological and floral morphology - seasonal drought and the timing of flowering and leaf fall plant/pollinator interactions, gene flow and sexual systems - pollination biology - plant pollinator interactions - micro beetles, pollination syndromes - pollination and reproductive biology - pollen grain deposition patterns and stigma strategies in regulating seed number per pod in multi-ovulated species seed and fruit biology - synthesis - frugivory by birds and mammals - determinants of fruit preferences - fruit characters, fruiting phenology and fruit consumption by vertebrates seed physiology, seed germination and seed ecology - synthesis - impact of disease on tropical plant reproductive biology - seed viability, longevity and dormancy - seeding morphology and plant establishment reproductive biology and management of tropical rain forests - synthesis - regeneration and management - the role of disturbance - the fate of trees in a neotropical forest reproductive biology and tree improvement programmes - synthesis - reproductive biology and plantation forestry - effects of inbreeding on growth - genetic structure of tropical tree species - use of small, clonal plants for experiments on factors affecting flowering conclusions - reproductive ecology and management of tropical forest resources.
